    I don't know if there is any evidence to suggest that Bill Grey ever built lugless frames for Shorter, whereas Barry Chick certainly did. Thanks for posting this though, the brazing on the head tubes looks very similar indeed to mine, though you'll probably agree that the bottom bracket doesn't...

    Well that's a real shame because otherwise I think you might have been the good home it was looking for, even if it would have had to move to God's own county. Maybe you could just hoik the saddle up a bit? This bike has provided me with quite an unexpected journey. When I bought it I had no...

    From centre of bottom bracket to centre of seat pinch bolt and then centre of seat post to centre of stem are both 54.5 cm. What would you plan on doing with it, if it's the right size?

    Yes, which is what makes it so unusual. The only other one I've seen is here (scroll down to find it) https://www.lfgss.com/comments/9074781/ This is also the only lugless example of a Shorter I've been able to find, other than Alf Engers' bikes, though this one has a lugged bottom bracket...

    The brakes are normal drops.. and the fork crown is by Cinelli, as used by Barry Chick on Alf Engers' record breaking machine. The tight gaps between tyres and frame were apparently characteristics of many of Alf's bikes, as you can see here...

    Nob wins. It is indeed a characteristic of Shorter TT frames and the frame is undamaged and as new, apart from some surface rust on the nearside top fork. The shape of the frame, together with the very straight forks, makes the bike very agile and responsive.

    Any interest in a 1970's Alan Shorter bike with a Barry Chick lugless frame?

    Could anyone please give me their opinion on this bike? I'm not a competition cyclist, and used it for many years as an everyday ride, but I haven't ridden it for some years now and it has been gathering dust in the shed, so it's time to move it on. I'm not expecting it to fetch a fortune, and...
