Mine''s got an extended seat tube too. For no other reason than I thought it looked cool. I'll sort some pictures in next couple of days and post them here. Wonder how many more MS frames are on Retro bike? ....Luke.

Re: I wanted mine in a Neon pink when I first saw the frameset. I thought the profiles would look good highlighted with pencil thin pinstriping in black, but Vernon refused point blank and said it would look stupid and cheap. I was a 16 year old that was into VW Beetles at the time and neon...

Re: Multi shape frame Hi. I have a frame built of Multi shape, which I had built in '93. It was built by Vernon Barker of M and B cycles, just up the road from you in Dronfield and I picked it whilst working there as I had never seen anything like it before. I remember him saying he'd only...

Re: Thanks. Keep looking at your bike and thinking it's a weird one. Close clearance rear end wasn't a standard thing and neither were those intricate frame lugs. Concealed top tube cable was also an extra and should have a guide through the top tube so when you change the rear brake cable, it...
