Description

From the seller
1951 Bates bicycle Diadrant Forks and Cantiflex 531 tubing - seat tube is 60cm ctc. I acquired this bike as a used frame and added modern parts to it. The frame was powder coated and new reproduction decals added including accurate tubing decals. It has Shimano derailleurs with Microshift Bar-end shifters, Tektro 559 brakes with Tektro rl340 levers, Origin8 mustache bars, Kalloy seat post with Brooks c17 saddle. The fenders are made of laminated wood by Woody's Fenders in Oregon. Wheels are Sun rims with Origin8 hubs with 6-speed freewheel driven by Shimano Acera triple crankset. The bike rides wonderfully. Buyer pays shipping.
