Ron Cooper Bike From around 1977

Hi Everyone, Just joined the Forum tonight and searched for Ron Cooper info. I have had one since around 1977. Many of the club racing cyclists I knew had frames built by either Geoff Butler, Chas Roberts or Ron Cooper. I chose Ron, and he built my frame for criterium racing and time trialling. I've been really happy with it.

Originally I had it finished in bronze-gold metallic, but I had him respray it a couple of years later. It is, to my knowledge, unique to me. I had it finished in metallic green over metallic amber, with the world championship bands on the joins. The lugs are a beautiful shape and cut out, and the fork crown is embossed with the C.

Good to know there are still Ron fans around.

Jeff
