50cm Trevor Jarvis TT Lo Pro

Sold thanks will make a donation to the forum

Hi, This is a small framed Lo Pro, sold earlier this year as a fixie skidder then a frame and wheel trade found it back with me. I am 5'10" and Stephen who purchased it from me is around 5"8" and it is too small for both of us, ideally this would suit between 5" and 5"6" so ideal for the smaller rider who wants a Lo Pro as they are hard to find in smaller sizes.

The bike is a 50cm 531R Trevor Jarvis Lo pro purchased from this forum as a frame needing repair. The rear stay had come away from the seat tube due to a dirty weld, this repair has been carried out by Jake Rusby Cycles, as you can see from the pics the repair is fine Jake also re-set the frame from 126mm to 130mm to accommodate the 9 speed drivetrain.

I have not had the frame resprayed as it was re-finished by Trevor Jarvis himself, the frame has a pantograph BN on the rear brake bridge Trevor remembers making and refurbishing this frame but not who the original owner was. the re-finish is indicated by the 531R decal on the forks( the R standing for refurbished) The black tape is there to cover the paint/metal join from the frame being repaired and the paint rubbed down, I have had this lacquered to protect the bare metal. I decided to give it back some gears and see what it rode like.

So it now runs 9 speed Shimano 105 the 700 rear wheel has been re-dished to accommodate and the hub re-greased with new bearings. The wheels are Ambrosia Durex with the original Cycle shop decals on them Victory Cycles Tottenham. The 600 front is original with just a re-grease to the bearings they are pretty much NOS with under 50miles on them, with a new Gatorskin rear and Vittoria Junior front tubs with no wear at all.

Cinelli Angel bars 1 inch with a Deda quill stem adapter take care of the front end with 9 speed Shimano bar end shifters and Shimano 105 headset the plastic cover with 105 has snapped but the headset is fine. The brake callipers are also 105 but the levers are profile TT style, the Rolls saddle is in good shape as is the seat post with some marking to the tube. I have a set of 105 flight deck brifter,s that the new owner can purchase if they want. It needs two new rear drop-out screw/adjusters I believe they are 2b English

The chainset is also 105 running 52/38 chainrings this bike does not like being cross chained so you can't be lazy with the gear changes but it flies along very stable and quick. It is hard to find a 50cm Lo Pro and one that is built by a very well respected English frame builder so this is a good opportunity for the smaller rider who wants a vintage Lo Pro.

What's the effective top tube length? Also, does it come with the Chow?

Hi, from centre of ST measuring down the tube to the centre of the HT the TT is 54cm, not sure if this is the correct way to measure a Lo Pro, hope it helps.

P.s grumpy chow to remain on bike watch

.

Measure it as if it was a normal frame, horizontal from seat tube to an imaginary head tube like \/
