Morning Folks,
Here is another offering in which I hope someone will have a real interest. This bike appears (in its former configuration) on the CR "Countries" List, but has been about a 5 year +/- project to build it up a bit nicer (as befits the Joe Bell refinish) then it was, and it now sports many NOS parts.
Particulars: 22 1/2" (c-c); 22" top tube; 32 5/8" (standover); Tange Champion Chrome Moly; Suntour Dropouts; Cut-Out Lugs.
The following parts are NOS: Headset (Tange); Stem (Nitto); Bars (Nitto - Engraved); Bar Wrap (Leather); Seat Post (SR Royal); Saddle (Fujita Leather/Belt); Derailleurs (Suntour Superbe); Shifters (Superbe w/covers); Crankset (Sugino Super Mighty - Drilled Rings 52x42); BB (Sugino Super Mighty); Chain (Regina Oro); Freewheel (Suntour 6 spd/14-24);
The brakes are used (Dia Compe Gran Compes) and in excellent condition; Pedals are MKS (excellent) with MKS leather wrapped toe clips.
There are two wheelsets: 1) A New tubular wheelset featuring Superbe small flange hubs (36o) laced to Mavic Championnat du Monde rims (2x front/2x-3x rear) with DT Competition spokes (14/15); New Wolber Classic tubular tires. Wheelset #2) Clincher: Sunshine Professional Hubs 36o (used - overhauled and laced same as the tubular wheels with new DT competition spokes) and Nisi clincher rims (used); New Michelin Hi-Lite Comp 700x23 tires.
I'm not happy with the way I laced the leather bar wrap, but I didn't want to cut off the stitching and redo it, so I'm including a new kit so someone can do it for themselves. I am also including the original Cyclone derailleurs (excellent condition) as well as a color matched Silca pump and a Nitto stainless bottle cage (new). I have plenty of pictures, but can take others if anyone wishes.
$1,000 + shipping (includes both wheelsets!!).
Thanks.
All the best,
Chuck Brooks
