haha, I actually did quickly check how straight the rear end of the frame was, and it was spot onmunga wrote: what a hideous, poorly-built frame!
interesting to see how much it has faded in 30 years!
(look at the fd clamp 'tanline')
also yes, the blue faded quite evenly across the rest of the frame except underneath the FD clamp as you point out - the decals had also slightly shrunk over 30 years, leaving an outline of blackened adhesive which cleaned up quite easily. the fork had a layer of limescale on it but nothing a bit of vinegar and scrunched up foil couldn't fix

My first steel bike. A Trek Fast Track 370 that I am using to learn about rebuilding and restoring the old gems.
Cheap Ebay saddle and gaudy gold bar tape contrast beautifully off the British Racing green lol.
Rides really well and I was very happy cruising around on a stunning winter's day.

Nice find but looking at the location of the brake pads on the rear brake calipers I think you would struggle to fit some fat rubber NSBfamilyguy wrote:Routens. JP though, not Jo. Seat post says MADE IN FRANCE BY JPR, 26.6mm. Unknown dropouts, unknown tubing, 105 gear aside from 600 tricolour cranks, MA40 rims. 60ST x 57TT. Might clean and ride as a Eroica or NSB style. Or might even turn it into a neo-retro yet. Dunno.

Harder to find but an Aussie made one would be nice too.
Very cool bike by the way. Love it.
