Rourke in the park!

Nice looking bike, great colour.

Superb job

I will definitely post some further pix once i get out and about on the bike, together with some thoughts on how if rides. Its components are all pretty much Compagnolo which I'm unfamiliar with - so I'm looking forward to the test run - Have to say that aesthetically they look superb!

Yes the bike really is that clean. It has only a few very minor marks, a superb example which has been pretty much wrapped in cotton wool by the original owner. The sale was a very reluctant one on his part, forced upon him really as he is going to work in Hong Kong for 4 years, a really nice...

success!
