1988 Bromwich Cyclone Triple Fade

[narcotitlan]

Not quite new to the site, but after some negotiation now in my hands (many thanks DaveH if you're out there)

Bromwich Cyclone, built for the previous owner by Jim McIlwaine in 1988. It came to me in good condition, all I've done is change the stem and saddle and a few small bits and bobs, first proper ride pics coming up - I had a grin on my face the whole way

thanks for the comments!

It's a Paul Sadoff/Rock Lobster stem that I've had for a while waiting for the right bike, it's got a 22.2 bar clamp weirdly enough

I'll have to get back to you on actual measurements, but I can say that when I first saw the pictures I thought it was pretty big, but it's deceptive - quite low sloping/short top tube with a high head tube. Fits me perfectly with the long stem and the back-sweep bars
