There is only one word for it......... stunning. Actually two......... gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing the built-up pics.

Every winter club run I used to do in the 80s included sections of offroad or, as it was known at the time, roughstuff. This thread rekindled something deep within me and I just had to get out for a spot of roughstuff this evening. Blinkin' brilliant! 8) Anyone know if the Roughstuff...

That brings back memories! My first decent bike was an RRA. I loved it until some (expletive deleted) driver decided - after watching me approach - to turn right in front of me. Not a chance of stopping. Cue 6' 7" of rider flying over car roof while my front wheel and frame made a mess of her...

You're welcome. Wibble! :lol:

Very nice. Love the gold colour!

Now, there's a name I never thought I'd hear again! Is that a Mavic SSC rear mech I spy? For my money, always a sexy bit of kit (in a Robocop stylee way). I loved mine and was devastated when it died. :cry:

Achingly beautiful. They really know how to build some stunningly gorgeous frames back when.

Pure, classic loveliness! My Chas Roberts roadbike from the mid- late 80's was decked out in Campag Super Record and was painted in a very tasteful (?) white with lilac faded overspray. Seeing this has given me some warm and gooey nostalgic moments. How I wished I'd kept the Super Record...

Yummy!!!! Not, perhaps, the most eloquent comment you'll receive for this vision of loveliness, but the best I can do with a lap-full of drool. :oops:

Speaking as an ex semi-pro motorsport snapper, you've got some very good stuff there Si. I'd dearly love media access at La Sarthe but never quite managed it. I very nearly got accreditation as the Morgan team photographer one year but couldn't get the required level of public liability...

It's waaaaaaay too large Rich; it's got a 59.5 inch top tube! :shock:

Crikey, it's close. Gotta love that Bolx. Just about perfect!

Hi Jamie. PMSL. Can I have the bits you cut out? :lol: Mike

That's a couple of gorgeous looking frames you've got there Joe. Very sweet indeed. I love the pea green Grubb. Looking forward to seeing the builds.

I said exactly the same thing to Mrs Mike! I've lusted after an Alan (or derivative) 'cross bike for the last 25 years. Unfortunately, being 6' 7" tall and heavy I'd never find one to fit and it would be like riding wet spaghetti!

Ooooooooh! That Guerciotti is just pure bike porn. It's just not natural to feel this way about a bike. :oops:

Sweeeeeeet! 8) Thanks for the link.

Primo thread!!!! Great pics. Thanks for posting.

From hanging with the Global Fridge guys and talking to KB back in the nineties, I understand that there were only 8 of the beasties made. I know that there is at least one other in the UK that I had the opportunity to buy a few years back but couldn't afford. Regret it every day! Oh, and...

This is my non gate-like XXL Race ORS. 25" c to c top tube and a 23" c to t seat tube. Fits me like the proverbial glove and I'm 6' 7". The 'clean' pic below is with the originally fitted kit. How I wish I hadn't snapped those Mag 21 legs and 'lunched' the crank tapers!
