This Experto Crede was restored by Argos of Bristol. Of special interest are the Six-Day seat tube transfer, double-box lining in red and gold, and superb chroming.
No expense has been spared to obtain accurate components in superb condition. The components include Mafac center-pull brakes, Stronglight crank with TA rings, Campag hi-flange hubs, mechs, seat post, and bar end shifters, Brooks saddle, and elegantly engraved Titan stem and Kint handle bar. Behind the seat is a copy of Cycling from May 1957--the month the frame was made.
Every detail is accurate and the over-all impression is harmonious. One of the finest restorations this Editor has seen.
