British Steel

I must finish the decals on my Alves...I painted it 2 years ago!

 

[velofrog]

it's a big frame too! what are you, 8ft tall?!

6'6" and it's wonderful for getting top-of-the-line retro frames as they just don't sell. I've a 27" Rob Telfer road frame in 853 Pro Team tubing for £160 POSTED!

OVERBURYS. (late 80s and early 90s.)

I thought I had every bike I could ever possibly want... and then you have to post pictures like that!

They are both stunners Carl, with my preference towards the early 90's model.

There is a definite British style from that period that is really starting to grow on me.

just thought it might be of interest is all.
the frame was actually started end october 1999, so not so far off,
but wasn't completed until march '00.
didn't mean to press anyones buttons.
apologies for any upset
could be moved to post '98 section by mods
:

It pushes my buttons, but in a nice way! It's bloody lovely!

Hooray! Cheers Velofrog, I'm not the only Alves owner in the world! ( click on subtitle )

CoR! Watta Stunna!

How come I've never heard of them until this past week?

 

[velofrog]
