Here you go .. The forks are pitted and the frame is ok apart from when i took the frame pad off ..

Anyone know what the stem is ?  And are the bars Early robinson bars ?

the Pedals are gonna be hard work .  And the cranks are 165mm with a 35 t chainring  :shocked:

















Drop outs are pretty good




 Hurt Reedy Pedals  ^"^



Chrome or blue these are the Tyres .. One is slighty a diff shade ..

Those 3 arm spider Shimano cranks are very nice, introduced in 1975 and ran to 1977, they are actually called GC-100's the 600 on the arm is the primary group.  They are actually the 1st series of the 600 group and then in 78 they changed to a 5 arm spider.

They look like fooked up dura ace. No wonder they dumped em.  :LolLolLolLol:
Got some silly sod sr's from that period too. The first apex cranks with mini spider. Can't stand the ugly sods, I'm vevr happy they standardised bolt patterns.
