Im happy to report I am now the owner of a Cooper T200 Championship 50 Single Speed
I love classic steel and single speeds are really ideal for rides here in flat Dallas.
Got it a for real steel deal
Very nice setup and sized about perfect for me ...
Built around a Reynolds 531 steel frameset painted in Cooper racing green
Matched paint color to the Formula 1-winning Cooper race car of 50 years ago
Hence the Championship 50 moniker and tribute bike
