Black Concor Supercorsa would work nicely.

Yes, it’s a ken Evans leggaro. Pantographed seatstays, not sure what tubing it is though.
I will have a look for a concor.

Nice looking bike Milpool, I think you'll find the aero mount dt sticks are awesome, and you'll get used to them very quickly. Haven't used the Shimano 600s in a while, but have some SunTour Symmetric which mount similarly.Milpool wrote:Just picked up this little beauty I'm looking forward to learning about. First retro ride, no brifters is intimidating.

From my googling I think it's a re-badged Miyata 912. Here's some pictures from today;

Check your handlebars. That RHS drop is bent inwards. It's not just the angle of the photos, I don't believe. Replacement bars are cheap.

i subsequenty picked up an odd old indian thing to path racerify, the twin tubes and the geometry were perfect.
This is when I got it, it's been stripped to individual bits, vintage stem and bars, leather saddle, 700c rims with white tyres, just need to weld something between the forks to mount sidepull brakes and i can put it back together - got a coat of paint on it today .
Will post more as it develops.

Also picked up this Dutch thing, can't decide to restore or cannibalise - popular opinion is resto.
Got the wierdest bottom bracket - 2 cups that spin, a big thread that rotates with a locknut, chainwheel and right crank one piece, cottered other crank.
Most odd.

Hmm interesting.. check to see if you have an internal gear in the bottom bracket.

FB market pickup. Got it more on a curious whim, but turns out to be in good condition, but needs a good clean. Fit is pretty close at 59.5ST and 56.5TT. Reasonable 600 tricolour (brake levers are a little ratty but I have some others somewhere), Sugino SP-KC 'ruler' seatpost at 27.2 diameter, Velocity Deep V rims with not much wear. Gonna clean it up and ride it as is.

No idea on tubing. Will get in touch with Albion Cycles and see what they can tell me.

Post some more pics of the usual spots and I'll see if I can work it out.

Neat details. Chain stay ends open, seat stay and forks filled. No serial as far as I can tell yet.
