I've almost finished doing up a rather nice racer as a bit of a lockdown project. But I've no idea what it is! Wondered if anyone here may have any brainwaves?
It's a lugged steel frame - I guess Reynolds 531 (27.2mm seatpost supports this). The lugs don't give much away to my eye though!
The drop outs are spaced at 126mm with a 6 speed Sachs freewheel. They look older than I'd expect for a 1980s bike, which is confusing matters!
However, the full outer cable guides above the top tube, 700c wheels and plastic cable guide under the BB suggest it can't be much older than that.
Serial number stamped into the BB shell is SY050058, but I can't find a match on Google for love nor money.
Components are nice - Shimano 105 groupset, campy aero seat post, San Marco rolls saddle. Can't be sure if they are contemporary with the frame or later additions though.
Any ideas what the bike could be?
