This is a new, never ridden or even built up, Lyonsport frame and fork. This
frame and fork were built for display at bike shows to showcase Jeff Lyon's
wonderful workmanship.
Jeff Lyon has been building beautiful and strong fillet-brazed hand-built frames
for more than 25 years. For those who are not familiar with the pedigree of this
framebuilder, Jeff Lyon, you can read about him at:

The frame measures 54cm from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the
top tube, with a 54cm top tube. The seat tube is 75 degrees and the head tube
angle is 72.5 degrees, with 130mm rear spacing.
This frameset is a beautiful candy blue color (blue pearl over a silver base
coat.stunning!!) built of Reynolds 725 tubing (a high-end heat-treated butted
steel) with fillet brazed joints. The fork is a painted to match Tom Ritchey
threadless fork.
This frame has Lyon's signature wishbone rear seatstay and Breezer-type rear
dropouts. The rear brake cable is routed at 7 o'clock on the top tube and the
bike uses a Shimano-type derailleur cable guide under the bottom bracket shell.
This would make a great all-around bike, with fender eyelets front and rear and
rack braze-ons on the seat stays. The cable adjusters are on the headtube, not
on the downtube, so this would be better built with Campy Ergo or Shimano STI
components rather than downtube shifters.
Pictures available on request.
$400 picked up in McAlester.
