Woodrup 753 Mish-Mash Mystery
I had gotten down to two road bikes (Raleigh & Rivendell) and had been lightly looking for something a bit more "sporty". I had a 1978 Raleigh Pro that was built up in a very similar fashion, I liked the ride quite a bit but the frame was too big for me. I saw this frame advertised in the C&V section on the Boulder Bikes website. It was priced a bit higher than I could afford, so I sent an offer via e-mail but was politely declined. I was disappointed but figured something else would come along.
About two months later, I got an e-mail from Boulder asking if I still had an interest in the frame? The price, with shipping was lower than I had offered previously so I I quickly said "Yes!"
I am not sure of the year but given its 126mm spacing and larger than normal clearances, I figured it is from the late 70's early 80's? I have no idea about the build or model, if any. BB is Cinelli and the serial number is 5476.
I got a bunch of stuff (Wheels/parts) from ColonelJLloyd (Thanks!) and used a bunch stuff I had on hand. I have only had it around the neighborhood but it feels light and quick. Looking forward to getting in some longer rides, to get the bars & saddle etc. dialed in.

Contact Kevin Sayles at Woodrup Cycles in the UK with the serial number or e-mail him your photos. (He may even have brazed the frame himself?)
