Re: [RBW] 61x60 c-c Riv Custom San Diego CL $550
Not strictly a custom from that era...and I think Grant had the tubing thicknesses tweaked as I recall. AR, Road standard (which this look like) and expedition all came with 753 (with decals en Francais) with 531 forks...built by Waterford who were qualified by Reynolds for silver-brazing. $550 is a nice price On Thursday, February 12, 2015 at 9:25:12 PM UTC-6, Peter Adler wrote: Kind of an odd combination. Reynolds 753 (with a French label, no less!) is normally thought of as a tubeset for lightweights; not a natural choice for a road (*not* touring) frame for a big rider. 531 fork makes sense, but it's hard to see why they wouldn't have used all 531. Maybe the original owner was rail-thin. 7-speed rear in a 130 BCD triangle...hmm. Maybe somebody needs to drop those bars, really drop that saddle, put a cassette wheel in and get a modern-ish drivetrain on it.

Rear wheel is 48 spoked. Front appears to be 32 (harder to count).

Well, this seems attractive.
