Minerva Squadra Frame

Unknown
edited December 1969 in Road general
Picked up a steel frameset from Cycling Promotions sale last week for 25 quid. It has horizontal drop outs and has built into a nice single speed. I believe it may be of Belgium origin as it has a 26.4 seat pin size & Minerva have a website - although current models are cheap commuters. Its probably gas barrel tubing, although it looks a reasonable quality with a concealed rear brake cable and shot in seat stays. Anybody shed any light on this frame?

    I used to have a Minerva frame many years ago - yes, it's a Belgiam Gas Pipe Special! The one I had, had really nice chrome forks with a slim, investment cast crown - rode way better than the weight suggested.
