Magnum Bonum

























Magnum Bonum
Tottenham, 1962


This 25-inch Mag. Bonum features MA2 700C rims, Campag Gran Sport large flange 3-piece hubs, with barrels painted red to match the frame (to cover up the usual Italian poor chroming), custom lugged bar stem (unknown manufacturer), GB Coureur 66 center-pull brakess, MAFAC levers, Campag Record twin-bolt seatpost, Brooks Pro saddle, Zeus Criterium front & rear deraillieurs and down tube levers, Sacks Aris 14-28 6-speed block, Stronglight 49D 48/36T crankset, rear rack Tonard brazing chromed (a concession to personal nostalgia as this was a company operating local to where I live and everyone in my club in the 80s had one).

Editor's note: the top eyes are anachronistic, indicating that the seat stays were probably damaged and replaced.
