Actually that one looks pretty good. What size do you reckon the frame is? I am guessing 56 ...kinda hoping it might be a 54.Imwit wrote:Cheap repco superlight nr melb

I can't tell you too much about Kerry but most of his bikes I have seen were Reynolds. I had some interaction with a car in the late 90s while riding a Gemini Club Ultegra (531C) and I took it to Kerry and he replaced the top tube and forks and it was good as new. At the time he worked out of ABC Bikes at Liverpool.QuangVuong wrote:And is this the real deal? Apparent a Kerry Hopkins. I know he's a frame builder, but what tubing did he use? Theres not that much info at all on him.

Why not? They work just fine even if they are desperately untrendy at the moment.Imwit wrote:Yeah. Why the stem mounted shifters?cotterpin wrote:Don't be deceived by the stem mounted shift levers

I used to race on a Hillman in the 70's and I still ride a very similar Hillman today which I renovated in 2000. New paint, bearings, chain, rear cluster, cables, bar tape, brake hoods and wheels and away it's gone for another four years and 14,000km so far so good

They work beautifully IME, there's only really one reason why not, if you aren't conscious of where your knees are while pedalling out of the saddle, you can bump the lever and spit the chain off the end of the freewheel. Ask me how I know....WyvernRH wrote:Why not? They work just fine even if they are desperately untrendy at the moment.Imwit wrote:Yeah.

I'm with you fellas. I have been thinking it's about time that stem shifters got some love. I love riding my boat anchor malvern star sportstar with stem shifters. But I normally see them as seventies or eighties. What is that bike and are the stem shifters original?ldrcycles wrote:WyvernRH wrote:They work beautifully IME, there's only really one reason why not, if you aren't conscious of where your knees are while pedalling out of the saddle, you can bump the lever and spit the chain off the end of the freewheel.

That's a beautiful old light weight road bike, probably built around the late 50's early 60's.I'm with you fellas. I have been thinking it's about time that stem shifters got some love.

Originally the levers would have been mounted on the main bar or handlebar end mounted.
