Hi road lovers,
I have been fancying an old road bike for some time and have unearthed this little number.
I have done a quick google to find out a little background but so far found nothing. Could anyone give me a rough idea on age?
Denton is a local bike shop down in Newcastle (well, it was, they went bust last month) and the frame is beautifully built with Reynolds tubing and very neat lugs.
It looks to be very original and has its original drops, shifters and levers to go back on. The guy selling it has owned it 23 years and he was the third owner. it has not turned a wheel in 21 years and should scrub up nicely. I have to make the guy an offer for it, but is it worth anything?
cheers
Si
