Joseph's deep purple 1974 Interclub

Post by joe v »

Changes made :

-replaced those crappy 'prestige' shifters by Hurets.
-replaced Simplex FD (broken clamp - what's new eh!) with Huret model.
-new 'retro' saddle to replace original bum-basher.
-clincher wheels
-usual stuff like cables, chain, bar tape, top tube cable clamps (originals rusted), bottle cage (Original rusted too)
Simplex RD looks as good as new, so no change there.

The colour is really hard to photograph; it's much more vibrant in reality! All in all I'm very pleased with this purple beauty, especially as I missed one exactly like this once by hesitating too long - that was almost 10 years ago, and I've regretted it ever since - until now!
