Free bike

Free to good home:

Orbit Gold Medal bicycle. Age uncertain - maybe c. 1975-1980? It seems
to be designed as a light tourer. Reynolds 531C frame. 2 x 5 gears.
Drop bars. All in working order though would benefit from an overhaul.
Seat tube measures c. 22" from centre of bottom bracket to centre of
top tube. It's too big for me (5'8") - probably OK for someone around
6'+.

I think this is a good-quality bike, that's just old-fashioned. It
belonged to my late father and I'd rather not just scrap it - but I
will do if no-one wants it.

Located 6 miles S of Reading. You collect.

E-mail enquiries to john at abramson dot org dot uk.

Cheers

A former flat-mate managed to con one out of his in-sewer-ants company when
his old heap was stolen, circa 1984, at which point I think they'd been on
the market nobbut a year. The 531 frame at a low price - about a hundred
and sixty quid - was the USP.

Sadly, it's neither big enough or small enough to be of much use for
me John. I hope you find an interested party for this bike. I've got a
soft spot for these old frames - they deserve preservation.
