About the Item
Royal House Antiques
Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning 1952 Hetchins Curly Magnum Opus road bike frame with exquisite chrome lug work and Columbus dropouts
HISTORY
I am selling my entire bike collection which comprises of 16 bikes, all luxury high end pieces, there are Colnagos, Cervelo’s, Lemon’s, Specialized, with Carbon Titanium or Columbus steel frames and some of the most expensive parts in the world, there are also some frames, again Titanium and Colnago, Bianchi etc, some wheels Zipp 303’s, Campagnolo Hyperion carbons etc, and then a few parts. I also have a NOS in the case Dura Ace 25th Anniversary groupset. These are all that is left over from my bike shop, I have kept them for years hanging around my furniture workshop as pieces of art and to remember the good old days, my new warehouse doesn’t have the same hanging space so these all need to go!
DESCRIPTION
This is my first ever Hetchins Curly and what a find it is, it comes with a couple of extras I'm including for free, I bought this because I had always wanted one just to admire and this is the best example I have ever seen. The whole bike looks to have been fully restored, the chrome work is spotless, the paint work looks to be almost perfect apart from a couple of small chips I can see on the underside around the bottom bracket, I'm including the parts the bike came with for free which are naturally not right for a purist rebuild so if you don't use them, I'm sure there's a couple of hundred saved there. This bike to me is a piece of art, I have enjoyed my time with it greatly but now its on to new horizons
SPECIFICATION
Hetchins Curly Magum Opus Shimano 105 headset. Top tube 56cm C-T-C, seatpost tube 56cm C-T-C and 57cm C-T-T, headtube 128mm
Extras, the headset mentioned above, Campagnolo down tube shifters and a Campagnolo bottom bracket
CONDITION PLEASE READ
As mentioned the bike looks to have been fully restored not that long ago, I can't see anything serious to condition wise, the paintwork has this wonderful crackled finish
