I have had this 22.5" Corsa frame hang in up in my workshop for some time. Now I have my Pro Am build done, thought it would be time to get the project off the ground. The frame dates from July 1975 and is in good nick. I have raided by spares boxes and ben able to do a fair bit already. Had the eternal bugbear of older bikes to sort - a jammed cotter, but apart from that all is pretty straightforward. This is going to be built as a simple 5-speeder with Huret Svelto rear mech, 24 tooth free wheel and standard 3-pin 49 tooth chainset by Raleigh. I need to source a from wheel and a saddle but those are the only major things I need. I want to build this fella built up so it very much looks like the 1974/5 catalogue image of the Corsa at this time...
