Just finished restoring a bike I bought back in 1968-9, and put together from components. The bike shop where I bought the frame ( Reynolds 531 with their logo for $170) said it was made by Ron Kitchings. But when I tore it down and stripped the paint I discovered a stamp of BCM (not BMC) in the lug just above the steering fork that I had never seen before. Anybody ever hear of that?
By the way, I put a Stronglight cotterless crank, Nisi alloy wheels with double-butted steel spokes (which I later replaced with aluminum) and Shimano "Crane" rear derailler and Campignolo front Der. which, oddly, requires tension on the shifter to downshift. Was that typical of Campy?
This is my first post so it would be nice to get a comment or two. I tried to post an attachment of the finished job but couldn't figure out how!
