Vintage Ken Bird lightweight racing bike - Reynolds 531 tubing
Selling my much loved s Ken Bird racing bike. I bought it used and am only selling because I haven't got on using the tube shifters. It rides beautifully, is super fast and everything works perfectly, but could do with a clean. It is showing signs of use, a few scratches here and there but nothing major for a bike that's 30+ years old. The majority of the bike is original. But here are the specs anyway: Very lightweight, Reynolds 531 tubing. Shimano Arabesque 600 rear derailleur. Shimano 60 front derailleur. Shimano Golden Arrow tube shifters. Mavic MAc rims. Schwalbe Lugano tyres. Cinelli Campione del Mondo handlebars. Bluemels "popular" mudguards. Cambio Rino headset. Not sure of the exact frame size/height. But I'm 6ft with 32" legs and I wouldn't want the bike any bigger. The seat looks knackered but is pretty comfortable. The mudguard is missing the original nut/bolt on the front side, (pictured) and what I've replaced it with doesn't really work, so have taped it up to stop it from rattling whilst riding, wouldn't take much effort to fix properly. An absolutely lovely bike, a quick google of Ken Bird will bring up some interesting stuff, but seems he was based in/around Orpington for many years. Price is negotiable.
