Ron Cooper in minimalist roadster mode. It's the lightest bike I have at present and is very good in traffic. British Hubs Co "Airlight" hubs (sic) are gorgeous and live up to their name. Fiamme rims, Wheelsmith double butted spokes. Suntour Cyclone rear mech, Simplex front, TA chainset, Chater Lea pedals - probably a bit old for the bike as it's set up, but they work fine - and new BBB stainless Steel bottle cages which I reccomend. The saddle is the ubiquitous Brook B17, dating probably from the 60s of 70s. Shifters are Shimano Deore which are of course way 80s but make the bike ridable when issued with flat bars, as it is. Chrome frame original. Why do frame builders not use chrome any more??? Posted by Hello
