Woodrup .... looking for info

[retrobikeguy]

Hi Guys
just got this the other day, Rescued from a pile of scrap that was designated as recycling at our shop, not sure what to do with it but its too good for a flatbed transit, not gonna be a keeper I dont think.

ladies mixtie style, stamped at the top of the seatstays, frame number is 7827. TA double cranks fitted.

any info gratefully recieved

Very smart, double eyes rear dropout and touring chainset. nutted brakes so looks 80's but reynolds sticker later.

Top frame, ask Woodrup about it, not sure if they charge for info though?

I find Woodrup very good at responding

Very nice frame

Kevin Sayles who is their top frame builder is on Facebook I think

Kevin replied to me after I emailed them about my frame, couldn't have been more helpful so worth giving them a try.

Although there is a period where they've lost a lot of records for, best he could do was give me a rough year and identify who made it (himself or Steve Woodrup) by which side of the BB shell the serial number is stamped, mine is an 85/86 by Steve.
