Early to mid-1980s Mike Melton frame, built with Reynolds 531 and a Cinelli bottom bracket. Melton was a well known American frame builder and was one of the lead builders for the famous Raleigh-badged funny bikes that were ridden by the US team at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
I got it in 1987 for $125 from Carol Addy, a former US national team member and pro through the 1980s. I trained and raced on it until 1990, when it ended up in the garage after getting the bottom bracket cable guides reworked when the originals broke in 1990. It’s time to get it restored and looking like it ought to.
