That is nice and the angles are tight also. 8) You have to love these old cranks and the drilled chain rings, they look heaps better than the modern stuff! :wink:

Old school TT is way better looking than the new stuff IMO.

But wait...
further evidence of a misspent middle age.

Mid 70s Ron Cooper. The Eggbeater pedal remind me that this was my favourite fast bike 3 or 4 years back.

New acquisition, thanks QV and Paul :D

Image

Van Werkhoven Size 54
Came with
-Exage (Brakes, Levers, FD, Cranks)
-600 (RD, Shifters, Hubs
-Mavic Rims
-105 Headset

I have replaced the full group with RX100, saddle, quill, and handlebar today... spent the whole day cleaning it, and :( I can't remove the BB

The previous owner also removed the Decal on the drive side :twisted:

Frame with some rust here and there. Rear Hub is rough even after repacking the bearing. Both Cups ans Cones are rough, :evil:

The bike is overall ridable, though I may have to be careful when riding. :D :D :D

Thats the 2nd bike Ive seen with pictures of only one side of the bike, and the other hidden when listed for sale. My bro's Rod Martin has nice DS decals, and the NDS is missing them all, and a fair bit of paint.

The owner used knife to remove the decal, so the paint on the drive side down tube and seat tube is not looking good at all

Looks good. Why do you need to be careful?
That's a deep drop handlebar. What model is it? And what's going on with the seatpost clamp? It looks like it's facing the wrong way.
