I met Ron on several occasions and talk with him at his Honor Oak Park address back in the 80s and he had a relationship with our bike shop. He did produce track frames but not sure how...

I would agree with masispecial. Compared to my serial number it makes sense. The fork crown was not sloping in 1982. I do recognize the "C" lug cutout which is also on mine. I say this is pre-1982,...

Bikingshearer,
I posted early in this thread and you got the color spot on--looks like mine. Mine is original paint and I picked it out when I was at Ron's shop in 1982.

Bikingshearer, noticed you customized your and have the modern shifters--that's nice. Let me know if you ever get it painted. Some of the poly coating is starting to come off on the underside of the...

Thanks for the compliment. Actually the gearing is 52x42 with an 11-19 7-speed. 7-speeds were up and coming at the time but not common. Ron ask me what I wanted to do with the new...

Yep, that looks like around 1982. Check out my bike in this thread. It is definitely 1982, all original gear. If you paint blue check out mine for authenticity.

Read my entries on 5/13 and 6/7 about numbering. I knew Ron and worked in a bike shop that sold his frames in the early 80's. My guess is that you definitely have a late 70's model....

This would confirm that my 1982 RC is in fact #842. Built in early Spring 1982 it is possible that the year ended with close to #1100. He built about 5-7 bikes a week--correct me here if I am wrong....

I have had a Ron Cooper since 1982. I worked in a LBS during college and we were dealers for his frames. On a trip to England I paid Ron a visit at his small modest Honor Oak Park shop, watched him...
