SBDU (Denton Cycles) 753R 1984 with 50th Anniversary Group

This bike is now complete. Sadly, I've had to replace the handlebar tape and lever hoods, but every other part, including all the cables and even cable ends are all original to when the bike was built.










I've tried to cover most things on this thread but there is a lot more detail on my blog posts...

It really is a beautiful bike !

Out of interest, what camera did you use to take such superb photos ?

Thank you. My wife is a professional photographer and I help her out sometimes so I have access to some awesome photography kit (and a studio!). I photographed this with a Nikon D750 and either a 24-70 2.8 lens for wider shots or a 60mm 2.8 macro for the details.

Cheers
Neil
 
A really nice job :cool: I have enjoyed seeing this come together and appreciate the time and effort that goes into doing projects like this.

Just wondering if you're Gerald Donovan going by the amount of SBDU's in your sig ;)

I wish... although the collection is getting quite large; 16 the last time I counted them!

Yes, I've seen it, and it is just down the road from me too.

They keep changing the item description text and now have 2 adverts running for the same bike?
 
Re:

Also says unused, despite obvious signs of wear on the rims, dirty chain rings and a replacement freewheel! Looks like a possibility of rust at the bottom bracket shell too.

If the price was more palatable I'd still be tempted though.
