For sale is a 57.75cm c-c Mike Melton road/touring bike. This is a handmade frame that is from the 70s (I don’t know the exact year but it’s definitely before 1980) that was originally made in Ohio. The components are a mixture of mostly Campagnolo, with a few Shimano components thrown in. The hubs are Record, Cranks are the Campy GS triple, Rear derailleur is a shimano crane GS, Campy Brev headset, Brev. Inter. Brake calipers, Campy seat post, shimano stem, cinelli bars, and campy down tube shifters. Wheels are 27x1-1/4 and have minimal wear. Tubing is Reynolds 531 butted tubing. Bike has recently been tuned up so cables and housings are new, tires are new, and I think the wheels were re-spoked (but not 100% on that).

I included pictures of this bike with 650s on it the tires are 650x38, so the clearance is a little tight but still manageable

I am regrettably selling this bike because it is a little too big for me, and because I simply don’t have the room for it. I am willing to ship it at the buyer’s expense. I am a bike shop employee so I will pack it professionally and ship with bike flights within the CONUS. (Listing is marked as “local pickup only” but I don’t want to go through the trouble to give a potentially wrong shipping estimate and have you or myself ripped off. Bike Flights is much more reliable and more affordable. I’ve also used them many times in the past).

Price: $750 OBO. Seriously, give me an offer, all offers will at least be countered
