[SOLD] '82 Bernie Mikkelsen Road Special, 60.5cm st c-c x 56.5cm tt c-c: $325 shipped conti USA only; payment via paypal Goods & Services

Frame/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.

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.

Let me know if you've got any Qs or Cs...

Bump and a price drop, also including the painted-to-match Silca frame pump. Gotta clear some hooks!

This is one of those FS items that I'm glad is just not quite the right size. Certainly is a good-looking frame, and IMO well-priced, too.

I am interested in this F/F. Trying to figure out if my wallet (and garage and wife) is. How would you describe the ride? Is it stable? Twitchy? Something else?

Thanks

edit: looks like I strike out. Neither wallet, garage nor wife approve of the acquisition. Good luck with the sale.
