We need bikes with Obree decals or at least washing machines

He did start up a small production company once, making some aero products, can't say I've ever saw any but I do remember it.

aye it's referenced in the book Flying Scotsman, he designed and attempted to retail carbon aero tri bars, but it fell through for reasons I can't recall. the books a good read, would recommend to anyone, even being an avid cyclist at the time, seeing him a few times a year at time trials and receiving a cycling weekly every Thursday, I wasn't aware of half his achievements

I see him now and again, he lives round the corner.

Already posted up 10 UTB 2014 in Retrobike Rides section, I've even put my happy hat on in the phrasing. No replies so far :roll:

I will ride retro but will have a wee bit front bounce, TopGun cheapo elastomer fork with canti hanger earmarked for this. Possible alu frame for race acceleration.

Just paid- rude not to at that price and will be riding retro (well at last one lap anyway).
