Having been more into my retro MTB's for a while now, I haven't had much to do with the road scene, but I picked this up cheap from my LBS as I wanted something I could single speed easily....
It's pretty much all Exage 300EX, with 105 brake levers and headset, and as far as I'm concerned, only the headset will be kept as the rest has seen better days. All stripped down now, apart from a stubborn BB, as the frame will need some attention and a respray - it's been used pretty much all it's life on a turbo trainer and where sweat has dripped on to the frame and run down round the BB shell area, it's corroded really badly (but not terminally).
Question is, does anybody know much about the builder, and is it really a Paul Milnes? I can't find a frame number anywhere, including the (531) fork steerer, and the drop outs aren't stamped as Campag or anything. Takes a 27.2 seat post though, so assuming it's 531C as the sticker says....
