Hi guys, I appreciate any help you can give me. I am in Australia and am restoring this old thing that I received off a friend. Nobody knows much about it.
It is light and has a 27.2mm seat post.
Came to me with GB Hiduminium stem and brake calipers, Maes Stratalite bars and first-gen Campy record derailleur with the round wheels. I know those are about 10-15 years apart, so am not sure what the original gear was!
She was a 5 speed I assume - braze ons for cable down the RHS, so I assume she came with a single bar end shifter?
The bottom bracket shell says "GR 23 V LS" and British Made. There is also a small stamp that says F54 just above that.
Frame serial number is hard to make out, on both fork and dropout. I've attached a pic of the fork serial (both match).
The interesting part is that the fork has a lamp mount on the left hand side! We also had them on the right in Australia. It came with an old Chater Lea bracket.
There's no pic of it, but the head tube also has two small holes for a headbadge. They are vertically stacked.
I have been searching all over for possible answers and have come up empty so far. I hope someone from a British forum may be able to help!
Thank you all!
