ID a Pro-Lite
« on: February 06, 2015, 04:46 PM »
My brother just sent me two pictures of a Pro-Lite that he has in his shed:




I don't know much about Pro-Lite, so can any of you assist with a model / year?

Here are some more pictures.
He thinks the bike is all original except for the chain and pedals
It has a sticker saying it was supplied by Bird's Cycles, 271 Edgware Rd, Colindale, NW9
Serial number is stamped on the right rear dropout: J3108512

It has aero/teardrop tubing on the downtube and forks.
