Flying Scot Tip Find

Re: Re:

Centre pull Mavic

Just to put the icing on the cake of Ralph the Rohan's good fortune, from what I can see, that might be a somewhat rare Mafac Top 63 front caliper as well.

I think you're right. The 'ball' shape block fasteners and the two piece rear curved section (the parts interlock to slide sideways to alter the depth) gives it away. I wonder what happened to the rear one - but there's no brazed on cable stop bridge and the seatpin clamp looks a bit wide to fit a 'separate' style one so maybe that's why.

Nice find. Our recycling centre say they recycle all their bikes for charity.

Re:

Well spotted Torqueless and Old Ned!

The front caliper is indeed a Mafac Top 63....

That's one of the great things about this forum, so many knowledgeable and helpful members.
