help me identify this 80s frame
 

the dropouts are campagnolo, i can't tell you something else, the frame had an ugly paint when i got it
thanks

Need serial number, as well as closeup of lugwork on headtube, seatube, bottom bracket, fork crown and dropouts - those rear dropouts look unique.

Speaking of which, do you have any idea of the threading of the bottom bracket and headset (Italian, French, English, etc)?

What was on it when you got it? Seatpost, headset, wheels, anything?

Also, you can post larger photos by using the [img] and [/img] tags. Just drop the photo url in between (photo url should start with http:// and end with .jpg, .gif, or .png).

The kinked fork blades are about the only distinctive thing in that photo. Detailed views needed.

Are you sure it is an 80s and not a 70s frame? The only protrussion that was not drewed on this was the rear brake guide bridge, which suggests Centerpull brakes. The lugs (look like Bocama, could be something else) suggest a mid/high level bike. Centerpulls and mid/high level = 70s. What are the dropouts? and is it english threaded?

here is your img btw:

I know this is off-topic, but can someone point me to the original thread(s) which spawned the "drew" term? I know the meaning, but I'd love to find out more about this infamous Drew fellow.

thank you all
i don't have other details, the frame was a mess, a brush paint, random bottom brackets, no seatpost, it was from a pile of rust, i got more frames to give them life again.
someone suggested on another forum that this is a custom frame. the only thing i know, i told you, it's that the dropouts are signed campagnolo.
sorry, i don't know hot to post big images

That bikes been "fixed". There should be a derailleur hanger on that driveside dropout. It even looks like it.

yes, it had, but that doesn't mean anything. i cut it. the frame also had that 3 holding points(i don't know the term) on the frame to hold the breaking cable, but i cut it as well.

So you are the Drew who killed this kitten...

you're being a bit too dramatic:)
i just gave it new heart implant.

Honestly, most people around here view that as more of a botched bypass. Now that kitten has heart murmurs or uneven beats and wobbles quite a bit because the blood pressure isn't there to keep it balanced and completely alert.
That's not something you really wanna admit to around here. It's your bike, but even to me, that's a pointless modification.

i think you should be more tolerant and relaxed, that was not the point of my topic.
i didn't killed a saint, i just made a rusted piece of metal into a bycicle.
i am sure you can understand life it's about transformation, but, again, this is offtopic.

the truth is it no longer matters who the maker was, the value of that information has pretty much been removed by hacksaw. Just enjoy your bike.

ok dude, i got it, you're all dreamers but i don't care, peace out whatever don't stalk me.
fyi i ride a lovely koga miyata, cant sepparate from it, and this was made for sell, i didn't had any parts for it, and already had my bike.

The issue with cutting off cable stops and dérailleur hangers and other things, to convert to fixie is that it's pretty much irreversible. Come with me, into my time machine, we will go forward a few years, the fixie fad is over and you want to convert it back to a multi-gear bike. Rather then just putting back the parts you took off and running new cables. You need to go to a frame builder and get new cable stops put on and you need to replace the rear right side dropout, and then you need to strip and repaint, making the whole job expensive enough that you don't want to and fixies are now worth nothing because the fad is over. This means a lot of old bikes that left alone would still be worth a reasonable amount of money are dumpster fodder, because even people interested in restoring them to their former glory will find it too expensive to do so.

i can figure out myself what could be the issues in cutting the cable stops, thanks
again, that wasn't the intention of this topic, i wish i could erase this topic, people are too agressive about this issue that is only my option.
random dudes commenting if i did the correct thing or not, on a simple(without any parts) frame. you'd better use your energy in other topics and help people, or go make a soup:)
and fiy wogsterca, i am not a fixed fan, read above. and then again, who was first, the fixed wheel, or the freewheel. don't be so rigid.
and again, this frame was in rust and with some blue paint brushes, of course i didn't knew what's with it at that time, and i decided to clean it and then try to make a bycicle out of it and i am sure that's the most important thing.
if there's a moderator around, please erase this topic, i didn't find my answer, and the talks are a bit too romantic for the first purpose.
thank you

cheers.

Flandria is my guess, just because it reminds me of an old Flandria I bid on, on ebay.

not that random... sounds more like a Marquis de Sade vintage road bikes lover...

BUNĂ ZIUA

with all do respect, you seam to get the wrong literature.
and you didn't understand anything from what i wrote.
buna seara(it's night here)

I don't get it. First you cut the frame, and then you want to know what it is? I'm outta here.
