Hi, first of all, sorry for the amazingly **** subject wording ;o)
I am moving home next week and cannot find a place for my road bike. It is a short wheelbase 531
tubed Woodrup. 21" frame with 21" top tube.
I bought it 12 years ago and Woodrups confirmed it is genuine and about 1971 ish. It is deep blue in
colour with white outlines on the weld gussets. Looks very nice when polished ;o).
I suspect it was a custom build or sprint bike originally, as the wheelbase is small and my toes
catch the front wheel if turning at walking pace. This hasn't been a problem as in reality you don't
cycle that slow, but it has to remembered at traffic lights etc. It does make for a very responsive
take up though.
The drivetrain is mostly galli, which I believe was a very nice 'copy' of campag stuff of that era.
The exception is the cassette, which I swapped for a close ratio block some years ago, when I was
able to ride it fast enough to use...doh...
The rear rim is a mavic GP4, and the front is a Durex !! , both with tubeless tires.
It has been sat doing nothing for ages as I am now into MTB's, and it needs a little tlc to get it
back to a1 condition. It is very rideable as it is though, and if you are in the Bradford/Leeds area
(near chain bar roundabout), and willing to come and pick it up before Monday (Or else it goes into
storage) , it is going for £90 or very nearest offer.
I can send pics if required.
Cheers,
Adam.
