When I was 16 I was a member of a local bike club in the UK I put a lot o
f
miles on a club owned fixed wheel from them. They were donated a complete
set of 6 identical team bikes and the club lent me one for time trials,
track and general road work - later they sold me it for 150 GBP which was a
lot of cash back then - It has been laid up for 25 years now!
All components are campagnolo - a mixture of Super Record, Record and Nuovo
Sport with Cinelli bars, 1 inch headset, 1010a Camp long dropouts without
eyelets and a Phil Wood BB (68 mm long 1.37 x 24"). The seat post is 27.2,
the frame does not use pins in construction, The frame lugs look very
similar to Cinelli with the 3 holes but certainly not conclusive. The
shifter mounts, cable guides, bottle holders and cable lugs are all brazed.
The frame is in original chrome and red but no stickers or badges (I took
stickers off the bike when I was younger and cannot remember what they
were!. The BB and steerer tube have SP 91 stamped in. I posted on another
site regarding the SP and the only suggestion I got was Stan Pike but again
no real evidence other than the initials match. I got the bike approx 1979.
If I cannot identify the bike / frame builder it is not an issue but it
would be nice to at least know prior to resto incase I was able to buy
decals and paint in original colour which would probably be red.
