Hi guys
just bought a used 57CM Duell Palermo frame. Never heard of them before but saw it on ebay as a fixie. The guy selling was brilliant (Terry of Stallion Cycles in Kent showing three Duells earlier in this forum) and he stripped it for me. So i went down to Sheppy in a storm last sunday and ended up doing 92 miles instead of 52 just to get there and i aint listening to a Nokia app sat nav again! It's at the powder coaters now although to be honest it will not emulate some of the frames shown here. Have not been able source the decals as Duell no longer use them (sprayed on) so spent 6 hours yesterday copying one of them using Coral Draw - labour of love or what?
I only needed the Duell frame as i went over the handlebars in sort of slow-mo having hit a badly placed bollard which kinked my Renalds 531 frame. I'm polishing up all the aluminium bits at school ready for re-assembly in about a week.
The attention to detail on Duell frames is fantastic so when it's done, i'll post some pics.
Does anyone know what year roughly the Palermo was made? It has brazed gear shifting lugs and eyelets for brake/gear shift option.
Also, any idea where i can get the decals done in England?
Now i'm off for a run until i get my bike back!!
Still recovering from my run!!!!!!!!!
cheers
