I've just bought a cheap 'Luis Ocana' road bike (who actually makes these frames, and what from!?) - not in the best shape - for a low budget commuter project.
[Pictures Attached]
I had an unexplainable attraction to the bike, and got it for £80 (alright deal?).
I don't know much about the bike, other than the brief spec given by the seller;
French built (70s)
Mafac Racer Center Pull Brakes
Huret Gearset
I'm planning on giving it a fairly standard tidy up - new chain, cables, pads, tubes, tyres and tape - to get it on the road, and then seeing how it rides before investing more heavily than that.
I can't find much info about 'Luis Ocana' bikes online, and wondered if anyone knew anything about them. What are the brakes and gearset like that are on it?
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
