No, it's not, it's Record Strada, 165, without date code so pre 73, but small chainring has Brev. instead of Patent so is a later addition and bolts are Sugino. Slowly I'm going to replace everything with proper parts.
Everything, except of brakes which are Universal 61, is Record
Such a classy, elegant British-made bicycle you have there. I'm eagerly awaiting it's completion and it's maiden voyage - cracking stuff! Cool
I might be interested... I need 52-53 chainring 144 with patent stamped, smaller 42-45 patent as well and patent chainring bolts. Maybe it would be better just to buy whole crankset... this one makes me a lot of problems anyway.
I didn't manage to achieve all things planned for this week, but the next step is done. I covered the handlebar with hand made DIY leather 'Almarc'-like cover. It took me many hours... And effects? Hmm... satisfying. The colour could be closer to the bike colour, but anyway, good enough for me.
I'll post a thread with tutorial how it has been done, maybe someone will have a use of my experience. (UPDATE) HERE I posted a thread about it.
New period crankset fitted, handlebar with leather cover on proper place, looking really nice, much better than pictures, good work . Hoods refurbished. Rear brake working, front still waiting for drilling the stem. I feel like going to do something really wrong..., I had the same feeling when I had to re-tap French Stronglight cranks to accept British pedals... Bad news are that the saddle (not that on the pictures - this one is borrowed from my other bike) despite really tough fight is giving up, I'm not sure if I can rescue it. The leather at the front, where crack appeared is tearing almost like paper, but I will try to do what I can. I ordered bigger rivets, maybe that will help.
