Evening all...
Long term project & some contemplation time to work out how I want to build this but I'd like to start with some knowledge or opinions on the following that will help me form a base to work from.
Lo-pro / funny bike of "unknown" origins (I am aware that a particular maker was attached to the sale but when there's no proof it could be any maker). No maker or tubing decals (a good start isn't it) and the following information...
1] Italian threads / 70mm BB shell width with under BB cable braze-ons, not plastic.
2] 130mm rear end.
3] Double DT bosses.
4] Internal Top-tube cable routing.
5] Campag Brev rear dropouts that take rear dropout adjusters.
6] 27.0 seat-tube diameter.
7] Capital "E" stamped into the BB shell between the chainstays.
8] "57" stamped on the underneath of the NDS of the BB shell.
9] Cable route braze-on between BB shell and front mech braze-on.
10] Lugless construction.
11] Downtube bottle bosses.
12] Distinctive fork crown with "7" stamped into the steerer tube.
13] 700C rear / 650C front.
From the list and the photos does anyone have any knowledge / thoughts of who the maker could be?
Many thanks...
