I am very surprised to find a thread on Ron Cooper's frames, and thank you as these frames are incredible.
Today I rode mine and it is so stable and comfortable up the Berkeley Hills, over the year it was repainted twice and I had eyelets added and put on fenders for 23s the same color as the red frame--it is a true classique.
Several cyclists on my ride marveled at my bike, and it was a pleasure to show it off (only in a nice way)
Went to look for a serial number--but I could not find one--it is a Cinelli BB--I will keep looking--I bought the frame off the rack from Bicycle Odyssey in 82! Fits me like a glove! I upgraded some of the components (clip less pedals, brake cables in handle bars, 9 speeds, Mavic Ksyrium Wheels, fizik saddle etc.)
fine looking bike. I'm considering doing the same to my Cooper (fenders and racks). What a classic.
