Cheers buddy!

I’d love this. Just to make the perfect pair with mine 🤡🥳👍🏼

I’ve not owned either make but I hear that both were top! My local builder was Brian Rourke whose frames I raced on back in the early 80’s. In fact, recently I had the frame fully refurbished by Jason, Brian’s son - one of the best!

Same here; did some LVRC races but stopped 3 years ago. I now ‘the old fat bastard on the colnago’ whose bike I lusted over when I was 18 🤣 I now have two 😂😂😂

Those were golden times….

A local lad then! I know the courses well. Under the hour on the K16 on a steel bike…impressive sir!🤩

Morning James, it’s untouched. I always try and find untouched ones but it doesn’t mean that restoring a frame, properly, is wrong. Bring it back to its best and enjoy it 🥳🤩 Tell me a little about your frame

This is what this this. See the lugs. Also built in 531sl 🤩

Was riding for MC&AC Solihull wayso around Knowle, and Nether Whitacre, Meriden etc (K18 etc). Sporty course those. Many many years ago :) What about you?

Agreed! But its not always about the ride or the weight...its usually about nostalgia isnt it?

For a retro bike it certainly is pretty light :-)

Woooohooo :cool:

...do they even exist? Hen's teeth comes to mind.

...now give the best builder the best materials and they make magic!

Hi James, very good question. My opinion is that the builder is much more important that the material they use. A good builder can make a piece of art from water pipes whereas a poor builder will make a blob from the best materials.

Morning everyone and a Happy New Year! I am after some of this basr tape if anyone has some in a drawer? All the best!

Used to race on one back in the 80s James. It was baged as a Tom Crowther then. Fantastic ride :)
