St.Ives

Could be a good deal for a project. I’ve heard that these ride really well

local to me but its massive !

Tis my size! Tis St Ives down the road and not the one miles away! I have some nice Ambrosio wheels hanging about! Is it worth a squirt?! Only ever had steelies - should I look out for anything in particular re: this type of frame? Cracks anywhere I guess? Have a shed o'shoite I could throw at it to make it go

 

[ferrus]

Go for it! Apparently they’re fast, stiff yet still comfortable and handle nicely.
Just check everywhere carefully for cracks which should be easy to see.

That's an impressive downtube

Was there not some apocryphal tale the tubes came from ex Russian MIG spaceframe chassis?

 

[Zullo]

I'm not on drugs!

 

[chickendrumsticks]

A Russian MIG invasion?

Well... I've got a contrary opinion based on having ridden one. These did not ride well they were terrible soft spongey things.

But it looks weird and is ti so... as a ride around to the store cruiser its a pretty nifty bike!
