Hi everyone, So i was looking for a road bike for daily commuting and was quite picky since i wanted a good thing for a reasonable price. Even i was and still am a newbie in this topic after a good bit of seeking and researching i bought second hand Dave Lloyd single speed conversion and have been happy about it for already few months. Since Dave Lloyd branded bikes is quite a rare thing i am confused what i actually own.

First of all, it is a Dave Lloyd branded bike, it has engravings on both forks and drop outs. Second, i was nearly sure it is reynolds 753 tubing as stickers on frame states since it is really light as 753 tube should be, moreover these bikes is known as having 753 tubing. However the thing im confused about is engraved cinelli branding on the bottom bracket shell clearly stating it is made in Italy.

So my question might be a bit stupid but did cinelli used/uses british reynolds tubing?

And a question to fit the topic: how much is it worth? It still has originally fitted campagnolo crankset and front wheel and 3ttt stem with dropbars, everything else was either removed or changed.

Also, what year it could be?

Thanks

It was not an uncommon practice for any random frame builder, Brittish, Italian or otherwise to use a cinelli BB lug w/ whatever tubing they desired. This does not mean it is a Cinelli built bike or even an Italien one.

+1 to the above...I have multiple bikes with Cinelli made BB shells...they sold frame building bits to other companies and frame builders. As to what yours is worth, we need to see quality photos showing components and condition.
