Lug work photo's to follow - the one I have with me wont upload for some reason!
-
We bought this for my Mrs based on an advert claiming it was a 48cm frame - which if you measure the seat tube it is - unfortunately muggins here forgot to ask about the top tube length before it arrived and well it just got stuck in the garage and hardly used.
So it's a virtually unridden Orbit America built from lugged Reynolds 531 Competition tubing with a mix of Sora & STX Shimano kit. The wheels are STX hubs, Campag rims. The brake calipers are some no name OEM jobs, but they stop the bike well enough
I've changed a few pieces on it to make it a bit more attractive to buyers. It now has a decent ITM quill stem (12cm) and a decent set of 3ttt bars. It's ha d new seat post and I threw away the plastic saddle for a Selle Italia Era that's well used but still very comfortable.
The lug work on the frame is great as can bee seen in the attached photos. If somebody just wanted the frame and forks I'd be happy to strip it down for the right price.
So all in it £250 - Collect from Stafford, Birmingham (or Northants if you can wait until I got to see my folks at Christmas)

All,
Sale agreed just waiting for payment.......
Wrongcog, it is pretty low at the front. It's a semi sloping top tube so it has a 48 cm seat tube and 54cm top tube. It would easily convert to a TT but came with drops. The seat pin is brand new so I've not inserted it to a sensible depth so as to make sure it's not marked - that probably makes it look a bit extreme at the front.
