1973 Dave Russell

Very nice bike. Great resto job done.

It looks very short? Is It? How does it ride?

Depending on where the rear wheel is positioned in the dropouts it is a 38" wheelbase. The forks are quite tight (with some overlap but I've never found this a problem) but it rides 'no-hands' perfectly. Over the years I've ridden it in 100 mile TT's and squeezed 'guards onto it as a winter bike all perfectly happily.

This is how it looked in 1977 as a pure TT bike but fitted with cantilever brakes which I had removed during it's previous refurb.

I've still got the jersey (bought at the Skol 6 in 196 and have worn it in Old Skool TT's this last year. Sad old man :roll:
