A very common addition to forks from the 70's onwards I would say. I think Ceeway Marketing supplied them if not others.

Having experienced levers gradually sliding down the tube - and completely upsetting the cable tension and therefore the efficiency of the change (especially if indexed) then I would always go for a stop if possible. Top or Bottom of tube doesn't matter as a top stop could be decorative and...

My experience exactly with my 8 speed 105. After a winter lay-off it would go onto the big ring but not the other way. (Not that I use the big ring much.......) Once on big ring it wouldn't come off. One day, using the bike for the first time after winter 'storage', exactly this happened. I...

So Woodrup are actually using the name? I was under the impression from talking to people who 'know' that the whole deal had fallen through. I wonder why you would order a BJ from them rather than a true Woodrup? Saying that, BJ also ran Merlin and JRJ alongside the BJ brand BITD. EB also...

Well, that's (good) news to me. I understood that even with the new owners it had collapsed a while ago. Has anyone had any recent contact with them? I sincerely hope they are still in business.

Bob Jackson and Ellis Briggs haven't been in business for a while. AFAIK anyway.

Interesting thread. I was under the impression that DQ built his own frames and that he had previously worked with Dave Lloyd. Perhaps he only built his better end road frames? A friend has a DQ road bike (which I've still not yet seen Eric!) and he says it is really nice.

TBH, it could be from any number of builders. The fittings are all 'standard' for the era but the seat stay tops are somewhat individual but by no means unique. Whatever, it looks to be a nice frame that would benefit from some TLC and quality period components.

I take it that you have used the bike 'in anger' at some time in the past? Which club were/are you a member of? Wrexham and Chester were my old stamping grounds when I was a lad. Lost count of the number of times I grovelled up Marford hill on the way back from a TT on the old D1 course. :)

Probably the other way round. Alan and Duralinox frames were branded for all sorts of other companies, Guerciotti being just one.

Nice condition and a Gnutti cotterless chainset. Watch your ankles on those bolts! Early Campag Gran Sport mech, Campag 'matchbox' front mech, Universal side pulls, Cinelli steel bars and stem, Campag GS hubs and Fiamme sprint rims - and a well used Brooks B17 on a steel seatpin and clip...

I have an inkling that it may not be a DM but a respray by him. Nervex Pro lugs don't fit in with an 80/90's frame and the chainstays look very long for that period too. Why not get in touch with him to ask?

Chainwheel's on the wrong side and I think he's front-ended it! Hardly surprising seeing the head-down riding position..................... :)

Er, Old Ned here. Definitely NOT my post! I may have an otherself somewhere - but not this one!

It's this coming Saturday. I hope to be there with a couple of machines - which may be for sale!

Very sad news. He was such a smooth pedaller, a '56.30' 25 on a 72" gear! BTW - Danny Clark not Boyle.

I've always riden my brakes that way round. I suppose it dates back to my youth seeing photos of my heros in magazines.

All the more reason to come along and make up the numbers! You'll find plenty of more modern machines there and yours will be perfect.

You would be very welcome. No need to ask, just turn up with a bike (or 2 or 3 etc.)
