Vintage Assenmacher 54x53

Here's one you don't see often, an early Assenmacher. Built in Michigan in ~1973. 54cm C-T Seat Tube, 53 C-C Top Tube. Reynolds 531 tubing and what appear to be Nervex Lugs, highlighted by sparkly root beer brown paint and lug lining!

It has a total hodgepodge of parts on it. 105 brakes, to a biopace triple, to suntour shifters. Dura Ace headset, Cinelli stem, Suntour pedals with mismatched cages. Mismatched wheels with decent tires. All parts chosen by the original owner! I didn't bother to change the bar tape or cables, as I wanted to pass it along as a good project for someone. I certainly can do those things, just let me know your color preference.




There's room for fenders with the current 27x1 1/8" tires. Lots of room for a bigger tire if you went 700c, which would require new brakes. Paint is in decent shape, with a few scratches along underside of downtime. There is also residue from hot glue or Goop that held a cadence sensor at one point.

Price is $500, which includes shipping! Local pickup in Fargo, ND welcome for a lower cash price.
