Detailed description:
- Apollo steel frame (late 1980’s vintage) in original blue with a few scratches – for an older child. This is not a full sized road bike, more about 3/4 size (it actually started life as a very early 24″ kids MTB but with thin steel tubing so more like a road bike)
- ITM alloy drop handlebars in an alloy 1″ threaded road style stem with shiny blue bar tape. Shimano indexed road shifter/brake lever assembly.
- Gears: Shimano Sora front and rear.
- Wheels: 26″ (559) Mavic black rims (XM317 I think) with blue anodised spoke nipples, silver spokes laced to Campagnolo alloy hubs. These wheels are very distinctive having been handbuilt by me. Tyres: narrow “Bronx” black road tyres, showing some cracking in the surface.
- Brakes: Miche alloy road brakes. The rear brake is mounted on a modified hanger to reach the rim correctly.
- Cranks: Black SR Suntour with blue translucent plastic pedals. The bolts holding the cranks on have anodised blue washers.
- Gear and brake cables – blue housing, again very distinctive. The cable ends are also anodised blue.
- Saddle: Dark blue (not the one in the photo) with blue flame motif.
- Blue anodised bottle cage.
