Yes I did come accross the one on the Hilary Stone site when doing a search, just before I agreed to buy the bike, cheers.

good to see the standard 57 Ring on a TT bike not sure about the rear mech spring being under too much tension......

Re:

Very nice indeed. Proper Old school TT bike. The rear brake cable looks like it takes an impossible route.

What an absolute peach!

It might be painful on the wallet but I think sourcing the proper NR or SR brake blocks is worth it.

I agree, that's the main reason I haven't put any on there yet. A jumble might be the most economical route.

Re:

Hi. I've only just seen this thread and unfortunately the photos aren't displaying which is a shame. As the person responsible for creating this bike I'd love to see it and maybe fill in a bit of history but It was a very long time ago!

Hi Andy

Do you recognise your Thompson on Hilary Stone's website, I wondered if you had made it specially for someone?
