For Sale: 54cm Steel Lo-Pro and some other bits

Posted on
  • Selling my trusty Lo-Pro. Had it for 5 years as my one and only bike, never let me down, always thoroughly enjoyed riding it, just time for a change.

    It's a 54cm lugged steel frame, don't know the tubing I'm afraid, but it's light. Painted blue, forks yellow.
    Full dimensions: Top tube 54cm c/c; seat tube 52 c/c; standing height 88cm; BB height 190mm; rear dropout 130mm

    Most people will regard this as a fixer upper or a beater, but I have ridden it as my one and only bike for a long time in 3 cities and have never enjoyed a bike more. It needs a tidy up but the components are solid if unspectacular, and the frame strong. Being sold in perfect riding order.

    Sloping top tube, 650cm front wheel. Vertical dropouts, conversion from 70s TT bike. Lovely profile, I adored it first time I saw it and still think it's a very attractive and fast-looking stance. Some scratching, quite heavy on top tube, medium scratching in other places.

    Black Mavic Open4CD 650 radial front wheel hand built by Dave Kane from Belfast, on Mavic Hub QR.
    Open Pro silver rear wheel also on Mavic hub. Flip flop but I've only ever ridden fixed. 15T cog.

    Campag Chorus pedals, which I love. Brown leather straps, some scratches

    Sugino GT 170mm cranks, 50T chainring (unsure what brand), halflink chain, has a bit of sagging at the minute, would benefit from a half-link being removed.
    Don't know the BB, think it's a Shimano but could be wrong.

    ITM Eclypse quill stem 120mm, 26mm clamp.
    Nitto RB021 TT bars 38cm, 26mm
    Really nice Paul E-lever black front brake, the ones with the Heart, Club, Spade, Diamonds embossing.
    Shimano front brake.
    I'm afraid I don't know the headset.

    Saddle's a spoon.
    Seatpin's a seatpin.

    Forgot to say, Bike is available to view/ride weekdays up to 7 or 8pm at Goodge St W1. Wanting cash only on collection please.

    SOLD

    Other bits for sale:

    Firstly, an unpainted steel frame, 52cm, (EDIT:) vertical dropout frame and forks, perfect for Spring build. Was blasted before I bought it, I had intended to build-up over Winter but have since bought another frame, hence this clearout. Some signs of discolouration, mostly superficial I think, due to it being unpainted for a short time. Also a leccie tape shim on the forks. SOLD

    Old Krypto D-lock, not the Bic pen type SOLD

    Specialized Hub 32h, QR, sealed, never used £15

    Unnamed 46T chainring new condition, £10

    Campag Chorus pedals, well worn, scratched and right one (EDIT: left one) needs some repair. Blue canvas straps. SOLD

    Lake Clipless shoes, size 9, Medium usage, not by me. And SPDs of some sort, no idea the make and model to be honest. Bought for £30 for both I think, only used them for a week, so would like same again for them but would take £20.
