Griffon | Street Bike, Biking Boards

Properly, I took it to a identified store in my space, and the man had no concept what or the place this bike even got here from (location and decade). This man has been engaged on bike his complete life, and was a mechanic for a french girl’s highway group ages in the past. Mentioned that so far as the body goes, he stated its purchase. Good tubing, and that its a bummer that its a Campy bike, however all the unique Campy components are lacking. He stated if I may have had all the unique parts, that this bike would a been extraordinarily distinctive.

I’ll begin a thread of me constructing it as much as an on a regular basis bike that I can be taught highway biking on. I journey mountain and im assuming that there are excessive variations between the 2 sports activities. I do not know whether or not or not if im going to try to go along with all outdated campy stuff, or replace it to new stuff. We measured the again chain keep, and it measures to 126mm. Now final evening i noticed on-line that 126 was just for 6-7 spd highway bikes. He went forward and put a 9speed 700c wheel in it, and there as nonetheless loads of clearance for possibly even a ten velocity.

Neither he or I do know if this bike is a 27″ or a 700c. With the seems to be of it, it was initially a 27″. However, if i may discover a first rate pair of lengthy attain brake calipers, i may get this factor to run 700c, which might open up an entire new world of components and parts that i may run on this bike. Like I stated, im going to start out a thread. There’s a little little bit of cable burn on the highest tube that has had some corrosion, so I wish to sand it down and paint that small part. So far as components, guys im all ears. I dont journey highway so I’d don’t know whats good and whats not. Hope to listen to from you all quickly.
