LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, tell me more, how has he been? is he ok?

Beautiful! what character, you could almost have a beer with it and a chat. I agree about the ride, they're so comfortable.

yeah keeping it and the bars in case I want to change back

Took a few pics at the back of the house by the pond. I put on some gold aria rims from 1981, a 52 tooth chainring for more legs, klunker bars and stem, and dia compe long reach levers. NOt sure which bars I prefer, I might go back to the other ones.

That's your opinion. IMO it is, light 531 tubing, hand built, nice relaxed angles, lwb, beautiful lugs, gorgeous, absolutely stunning bike. I must say it's uncool on these forums to turn up to a thread and slag off the bike people have a passion for. Maybe you should listen to your own signature.

They never did them in blue, only the cougar was blue. The Ranger was the burnt cherry only or the countryman (same f&f) was light and dark grey.

The Ranger to ride is beautiful, the relaxed seat tube and head tube angles smooth out the judder, the rear stay length you mention is intentional to give a LWB which again gives a smooth ride. Great at climbing so very good all terrain. They wouldn't be good as DH MTB racers, but no one wants...

Oh wow, that's amazing, I think if anyone tried that now they'd be murdered 112 times. Thanks for sharing, 27,000 miles makes you the 'Ranger King'.

@ Birdy60 the people have spoken, we need the full story.

Wow this is such a great story, needs a whole thread on its own, do you have lots of photos, stories? You must be so attached to that bike after such an experience.

..only just over a year

I love these bikes, I have had many bikes come and go but the Ranger is a keeper, the slack geometry makes for such a leisurely ride, plus you get that runaway freight train feeling when you get going. The long WB looks great, I'm 6ft 1" so perfect for me. I cannot understand why people assume...

Yeah me too, solely because I thought it would be £1400. I've since bought the same frame with same horn decals but red and cream 1952, original, great patina, gold Ukai rims etc on their way from G'O USA so will post it on here when done. Obstruch's build inspired me.

I was amazed it went for that I thought it'd be £1400. Crazy bargain. Such a beautiful bike.

I know right, you blink and....

Nooooooooooooooooooooo! I can't believe I just missed this. What a beauty.

Can't believe you're selling it, it is so stunning. Problem I have when they're perfect like that, is actually riding them. Hope you've got a nice project in mind to share on here.
