Classic Sun Sapphire Bicycle
A beautiful classic bicycle. I'm not sure of the date but I believe it to be s. * 27x1 1/4" wheels / tyres * 23" frame * 5 speed gears * lots of period details fantastic lugs and decals. The frame is "EUUT" tubing, and it rides beautifully like a classic steel bike should. The frame has a gentle spring that glides over the bumps, and this is helped further by the large wheels and the marathon tyres. I have restored and upgraded this bike as seen with the following: * New chain, 5 speed freewheel, and derailleur. The old ones were working fine but I wanted wider gears. * New Retro style alloy moustache handlebars with alloy adjustable stem and new Deda bar tape. * As pictured the bike has the original rear brake, and a new tektro R556 front brake. The original brakes work fine but the new tektro ones are a little better. I am willing to sell it like that, or with both brakes original or both brakes Tektro R556 with a small price adjustment to reflect any changes. The £150 price is for the original brakes only! * New Schwalbe marathon tyres. * New(ish) comfort saddle. * New alloy seat post and new vintage-correct post binder bolt. * New stainless gear and brake cables. Old/original parts are included if you want them. All working. I'm selling this for less than what it cost me in parts to upgrade so it's a great deal! Read More
