    I bought it from Chalky as frame only, it had never been built up previously. I cannot recall the exact timeline, but it was after Henry's shop had closed as Mick was at Freewheel at this point. The shop closed in September 1988 and he had been at Freewheel for a while so I think it would be 89...

    John's number is L873 so would be 3rd frame built in 1987, which rings true with when he received it.

    I know of another three, my neighbour has one. I'll see if I can get a photo. He had Chalky cut his initials into the fork crown. Nice touch but limits your market if you want to sell it on🙂

    Hello Jesper, the frame you have belonged to me until couple of months back when I sold it as part of a job lot of frames along with the pale blue track frame. After 60 years of accumulating cycling stuff I have decided to actually have an extensive cull! I purchased your frame from Chalky after...
