I've got most of the details on the thread below but here's the gist of it.
Fully stripped, primed and resprayed with new reproduction decals and a few brazed on extras, bottle bosses, shifter bosses, cable guides and a race number boss.
It's lightweight (3.5kg as pictured with BB, headset and seat bolt) and very well put together, nice scalloping around the dropout joints and detail around the rear bridge.
I think it should take a 27.2mm seatpost but it looks like someone in the past has fitted a smaller one as is not perfectly round at the collar, 27.0mm should go in fine though.
BB shell is french threaded and there is a Specialites TA BB in it that runs smoothly.
It's too small for me 56cm/56cm c-c but it should build into a nice bike.
Lots of time and a few £££ spent on this, based in Bristol but I can post it for £10.
£150 ONO
PM me for any other details/offers
