Re: Ron cooper "First ride"
Had Ron out for a short 40 mile coastal spin. Took advantage of the dry roads and minimum salt..
Being used to modern road bikes I was sort of expecting an awkward clunky ride.. How wrong was I !!!!
Getting used to down tube shifting after repeated attempts to push my levers :facepalm:
She bowls along nicely and nice and stiff for a steel frame.. Looking forward to summer century rides

Lovely bike, but would i be the only one to think that the frame looks too small for you??
That's a serious amount of post / drop you have - you must be flexible!

Probably back when this was built it was for a smaller person ? A lot of modern bikes with compact geometry have more post showing.. I ride a modern road and cx bike in a 54 with 90mm stem I'm all legs but short torso hence riding 54 size frame with longer post.. Cooper is 53 with 110 stem and feels fine
