Old School Hero
Nervex pro lugs and i'm guessing 531DB (27.2 post)
Wasnt expecting much but it seems to be a nicely made frame, really like the tapered / fastback seatstays
Thought the forks may have been non original (fully sloping seem a bit modern for this bike) however the number on the frame corresponds with the number on the steerer
After giving it the once over i did consider doing a period build however it would be to similar to my other road bike so going to stick to my original plan of old frame and modern components
First job is to have the centre pull hanger removed, guessing i'm going to have to change the mech hanger to (simplex dropouts)
There are two holes on the head tube however i think finding a head badge will be a tall order so I'll behaving these filled and using a Youngs transfer from Lloyds
Once the metal work is complete will be off for a re enamel in black with yellow lug lining and yellow down tube panel
Parts collected so far
Going for Mirage on the drivetrain, seems to be some real bargains out there at the min plus i'm going for an all black look Regarding brakes ideally I would like to fit some athenas in graphite
Had this sat in a drawer for a few months so thought I may as well use it! although I need to get a 2 nut / grip nut conversion kit from the states
