How about some custom handlebars?
Is that the S25/n saddle? they seem to be indestructible.
Hi Frank -
The steel rims were unmarked: Neither Westwood, nor Westrick, nor Dunlop - and I am sure both unoriginal.
That would make sense given the replacement fork and tweaked head tube. Both rims had been replaced to match, but were laced incorrectly long ago, so that the Schrader valve was one spoke away from where it needed to be.
They were running S6 tires and are 32-40 hole, so I assume they are old EA1's of some sort. They seem reasonably true, but they have some rust.
You can have them for the postage if that will help you for your build. PM me.
I don't know what an S25/n saddle is. According to the catalog, these bikes were supposed to have Terry Oppy saddles - but mine has a Brooks mattress that looks almost the same. I personally believe it is original.
