Available now is this 53cm 1983 Ernie Clements 531 steel road bike, rebuilt with custom specification into a speedy commuter/leisure steed. This project has been a few months in the making around servicing work, and I’m really chuffed with the result! As with all our builds Ernie is supplied fully dialled in with a 6 month guarantee, a choice of pedals and a range of optional extras ready to fit (racks, mudguards etc). Originally a drop bar 10 speed with steel rims, Ernie desperately needed some upgrades and now boasts the following specification…
- Reynolds 531 frame with forged Gipiemme dropouts and Tange Seiki headset:
- 12 speed Shimano SIS drivetrain with classic thumbshifters plus a new freewheel & chain
- All-alloy 27″ wheels with Weinmann rims and Quando hubs
- Chromed sweptback riser bars with black alloy quill stem
- Vintage Shimano Golden Arrow cranks with new chainrings & Sunrace bottom bracket
- Shimano 105 rear derailleur
- Hermanns Elite grips with new Velox end plugs
- Polished vintage Shimano Tourney brake calipers with new pads
- New Jagwire cables throughout
- New retro studded saddle
- New chunky tan wall tyres
