FS - 1982 Mikkelsen Road Special F/F, Headset and Silca pump
SOLD. SOLD. SOLD.
I bought this not too long ago from PCB here on BF. For the life of me, I can’t get it to stop making my back hurt. I have several other bikes that are comfy, so I am going to pass this frame onto another. HERE is the thread from when I bought it.
Included is Frame, Fork, Headset and painted to match Silca Pump.
Here are are pics of it in its current form. Only items listed are included in sale.
$325 shipped Con US, PayPal only.

Out of curiosity, did you plug this bike's numbers into bikegeo.net as well as your favorite bike? There might be a small adjustment that could make it comfortable.

Thanks

As for price, I am just trying to recoup what I spent (after shipping it to the new buyer).
Thanks for looking out Gregory.

rame/fork, seatpost binder bolt, dropout adjusters and painted-to-match Silca frame pump only, I'm keeping the headset. Very clean overall with a few small sc****s and touch-ups. No dents, dings or other structural damage.
Clears 700x28mm, might do 30mm; also made a nifty 650b x 38mm roadster.
Frame/Fork/HS weight: 6.48lbs
ST 72.5-deg, HT 72.5-deg
ST 60.5cm c-c, 61.5cm c-t
TT: 56.5cm c-c
Chainstay: 41.5cm, wheelbase 99.8cm
BB Height 27.8cm/10.9"; bb drop 67mm; standover 87.5cm/34.5"
Rear spacing 126mm; Campy short horizontal drops w/o eyelets
I spoke to Bernie not long after I got this frameset, maybe 10-12yrs ago? Bernie doesn't serialize his framesets, but could narrow down production time based on frame details. He said:
Columbus tubing likely, prob. SP downtube, .9-.6-.9
French cut stay ends = early '80s
Full-sloping internal fork crown = pre-'85
I'm pegging it around '82.

Squirtdad...you are a rock star. Thanks for posting that. I guess I have been a little lackadaisical as I don’t really want to sell it,I am still fiddling with it hoping that something magical will happen. Thanks to everyone for your help. If you have any questions about it, I will do my best to answer them.
