Jensen - 1961
Posted: Wednesday 19th August 2020
| Frame | Jensen no. 61433 (1961) Nervex Pro Lugs; 22½" seat tube, 72º parallel; brazed stops for bar end levers. Original colour was maroon with white head and seat tube panel |
| Wheels | 27x1¼" Weinmann HP on Campagnolo GS large-flange QR hubs |
| Chainset | Stronglight 49d 5-pin cotterless with TA double rings, |
| Pedals | Gipiemme with Christophe clips and straps |
| Gears | Campagnolo Record rear and GS front with Campagnolo bar-end shifters |
| Brakes | Mafac centre-pull |
| Stem/Bars | Milremo stem and bars |
| Saddle | Brooks |
| Extra details | The bike was bought from John Spooner in almost original but well-used condition. It was re-painted by Argos - we also added the chrome ends and fork crown. Jensen Cycles were in Whitehorse Road, Croydon, almost opposite Allins and were popular with the local fast men at the time. For L'Eroica, wheels might be replaced with sprints and Cyclo cross tubs, any comments or advice? |
Thanks for reading
