Joe Bell paint job mystery bike
OK- I got some feedback on another post about this bike. I was able to grab it up today. It has a Joe Bell Paint job, which is kind of chipped and beat up. the garage sale I saw it at was not a messy garage, so I wonder how it got so beat up. The fork is very attractive, and has tange dropouts. Is it a tange? mix match shimano derailleurs, unknown brake levers, campy downtube shifters, suntour cranks, normandy high flange hubs on mavic rims, 5 spd cassette. The frame has Zeus Competition dropouts as best I can tell. there's also a serial number on the rear drop, 31693 or 31699 as best I can tell, it is painted over and worn from the skewer. there's also a 60 on the headtube, but it might say something else, it is also painted over. The rear cable mount between the seatstays, above the brake mount, resembles a raleigh I have. nice BB lugs, here's the pics:
There's also a nice pump mount braze on, and the headbadge is gone!!!!! 3 holes left. No underneath BB stamping other than what looks like TT or TI
