1986-Peter-Mooney-Cycles-55cm-Dura-Ace-7700-Frame-340-Vintage-Road-Bike eBay item number:261361859305
1986 Peter Mooney Cycles, Frame #340. Handbuilt at Bellmont Wheelworks by legendary frame builder Peter Mooney, this frame features a Century Road Race Geometry built with mix of Columbus SL & SP Tubing. This frame was originally built as a stock bike for Wheelworks and not as a custom. When I received the frame the original paint had seen enough so it was stripped and powder coated a matte black. The original top tube cable guides where also damaged as is common with these era frames, so they where removed and replaced with 60's era Campagnolo chrome top tube clamps. The frame is straight and true, the rear triangle professionally coldset to 130mm spacing to accept modern axle widths. I never replaced the axle stop posts on the rear dropouts, the threading was difficult to source and its really unnecesary with a modern wheel. Feel free to look at Peters site for more examples of his work @http://www.peter-mooney.com/ Shimano Dura Ace 7700 53/39x175mmx11-23. The last of the 9 speed Dura Ace and the best looking when paired with a vintage frame, this was really the only groupo I felt this frame should be built up with. I'd also been saving it for a frame like this for a few years. 2500 miles on current drivetrain, a new KMC X9L chain replaced the old 7700 chain at 1200 miles. Drivetrain reads new.
A small piece of chrome flaked off the outside for the front derailleur cage right after it was installed, doesn't affect performance but its kind of a bummer. Giant P-SLR1 Wheelset. An amazing wheelset, great ride quality, and very hassle free. Tubeless Ready! It wasn't my first choice for a wheelset in regards to the overall look of the bike, but I was lured by the weight/price point and have not been disappointed. The rest of the components are a mix of Origin8, Selle Royal, Fizik and Zipp.
The tape and saddle are in great shape, but I would replace the tires before any longer, the front would make a good trainer tire, the rear is questionable. This bike was ridden before me, restored and ridden again. It is by no means a new bicycle. There are pain flaws here and there, note the photo of the bottom bracket lug. A few chips from the toptube as well. The inside of the frame has had 3 JP Wiegle treatments since I've had it, and the outside gets a a wax once a season, you'll notice where there are paint chips, there's no rust. All said its still in amazing shape and should continue to perform without incident for many years. Any questions, further photos, or to view the bike personally, do not hesitate to contact me.
