here is a photo of my patterson at a recent bike show in melbourne and it is true 95% of this bike is how I found it thanks to the original owner

nice find, nice bike.

crmo,

Lovely, the 95% does that include the decals? If not where did you source some?

Cheers

Paul

Top bike and great find.
The pads finish it nicely
Pattersons must be the flavor of the month.

WOW - that is awesome, mate. Fantastic find.

Those old Patterson long frames are great !

Great looking bike!

Love that tire combo.

the old "half moon" 82 decals good stuff

What year is that bike? I assume it is of 70's vintage....... Beautiful Bike!

the decals are original the only things that I changed are the spokes (old one beyond repair)
rear tyre (perished) the cranks and chainwheel(very rusted) the rest of the bike is as found just cleaned up. The serial #00432 I beleive it is an 1982 model

Mate - that is totally awesome.

The DiaComp centrepull caliper is a real find (in gold!) and that full set of mint, early Patterson pads is unreal.

Wicked.

What sort of stem and bars does it have?

The only thing I would change is the number plate - find a Uni plate

One of the coolest looking bikes I've ever seen. Nice!

who's PR240 is that in the background?

Thats a nice bike love those Long frames

the stem is a gold proneck in the same condition as the bike the bars early gt santa ana and the 24 in the background is another one of my bikes it is also a survivor.

Nice one Trev

Awesome! Got to love those original decals and pads.
