Something a little different from SBDU

[originalshinkicker]

I picked up this frame in August last year. A lovely original SBDU frame from 1983 - no TI-Raleigh colour scheme but using the same shade of Red. I didn't want to use Campag so went for Shimano 600EX, which I've used before on a previous build. It's actually a Time Trial Special frame but with a slightly longer rake on the forks - the shorter top tube is perfect for me.








It is 531c but with Metric tubing (28.0 mm seat tube instead of the Imperial 28.6 mm) - it is as light as my 753 frames and takes a 26.6 mm seat pin.

It currently has some MA40 rims and Veloflex tyres with Shimano 6400 hubs but as soon as I get some more spokes, I have some original 600EX 6208 hubs and GP4 rims ready to build for it.

Very nice, as always.

Very nice that. Short wheelbase gives it that 'look'. Nice find, and the 600EX is actually a very pretty groupset when it's presented like you have here.

Yep, the 600EX is an excellent group. Looks great and just works really well!
