Vintage 1978 Steve Elsworth racer


















Hand built 1978 Steve Elsworth race bike. Campagnolo Delta brake callipers, c record/chorus parts, Cinelli Unicanitor saddle, Cinelli giro d'italia bars & Cinelli head stem, Mavic hubs & rims, Vittoria tyres, all original paintwork and decals.

Master frame builder: "Steve Elsworth (was the) the foreman builder, at MKM, who built most if not all of these frames, Steve, who must have been one of the UK's top builders, particularly of lugless frames and tandems, never ever used any form of jig. Everything was done 'by eye', even the bending of fork blades."
Norris Lockley, Settle UK


As it was before before being updated with Campagnolo & Cinelli parts...
