hi,
with the agreement of the police and council i rehomed this tonight;
its a Dawes, 531 tubing, campag chainset, suntour thumbies, sunrace rear mech.
any thoughts?
i am tempted to put a wire basket on the back for true venacular styling.
it was chained up for at least three...
i was walking the dog and found this frame in the woods(honest), dumped with other rubbish.
can you tell me;
what year is it?
is it any good?
whats the ride lie?
can i fit disc brakes on the rear?
is 6061 alu, and feels okay.
cheers
simon

rings
hi,
no offers?

if no offers i will through them in the recycling bin with my beer cans!
( i dont have a crank for them now)
risers
they were buggers, i did start to try and get a pair of one one mary's through, ni chance.
the bars i have went through fine, as long as you kept the collar/shim off. in the old days they came with a o ring to keep the two sides together.
