English cycles 'Special' - Jeremy Torr

Mark,

I think what you have there may well be a Bromwich.

Possibly a Cyclone II.

I may well be wrong, but it looks like it to me and has the fairly distinctive looking seat tube/ stays area.

?

Anyone mind if I say 'well funk me sideways!'?

Its very close, mine maybe an earlier model?

aint that a coincidence

Veeeeeeeeeeeery close, the grey and pink one in the catalogue scan looks to have shot in seat stays (difficult to see 100%) and the green meanie looks to have fastback stays. 'tis a very close match, within the margin of error of a Jeremy Kyle paternity test I reckon

A 'read the story behind the entry' type BoTM bump

nice steel

must be a very comfy ride with the relaxed geometry, short top tube & big tyres

i likey

Its a lean green trail eatin' machine...

Just an observation but the two Bromwichs in the photo's both have twin bottle mounts but the Green-Meanie doesn't? They also have a canti-hanger on the seat-stays - and the Bromwich seat-stays wrap round the seat tube whereas the Green-Meanies butt up to it...

Personally I think it's a homebrew special that's had the extra sleeve added to the seat-tube to convert it to a sloping top-tube and take a bigger seatpost - perhaps a road frame originally? The cable stop on the fork leg is certainly an add-on...

A 'bump' to remind me that I still own it and that the brakes need an overhaul!

 

[coomber]

I think about this bike all the time, which is weird as its a lot older then anything else I have ever ridden or wanted. It's just so cool.

I know it's not one, but the word PASHLEY keeps flashing in my head...

Maybe the whole drum brake / postie bike thing.
