Description from the seller
Crescent Executive Titanium Bicycle – Full Shimano Dura-Ace Black Groupset – 1976
A rare and distinctive Crescent Executive from 1976, built around a polished titanium frame and equipped with a full Shimano Dura-Ace Black groupset from the same period.
The elegant, unpainted titanium frame is complemented by the highly collectible black and silver Dura Ace components. The bicycle is configured with a gold chain traditional friction shifting and classic side-pull brakes, making it a fine example of high-quality 1970s bicycle engineering.
The frame is believed to have been manufactured by Speedlite of the United Kingdom, which is known for producing titanium bicycle frames during this period. However, this attribution should be regarded as provisional unless confirmed by frame markings, original documentation or period catalogues. Crescent have marketed or distributed the bicycle, while Speedwell was responsible for frame production.
Additional period-style details include a leather saddle, polished metal mudguards, flat handlebars, classic pedals and a small leather saddlebag.

A particularly interesting collector’s bicycle combining Swedish branding, a British-made titanium frame produced by Speedwell and the iconic first-generation Shimano Dura Ace Black groupset.
