This is the first road frame i had when i was 13. Time to rebuild after many years of neglect!

Mike Price? Where's he from then?

Yet another brand I've never heard of!

Mike Price

Mike Price owned a bike shop called Cyclewise in Hythe Kent,
I also believe he built frames seen a couple in my area but not for along time.

Do you plan to repaint it?

 

[nemo]

Not at first will see what it looks like as a rat build? but might if i can get hold of some repro decals

I think that'll look stunning if you don't repaint it. Some Chromix rims, alloy everything else and a battered Brookes and it'll look mint.

+1. Bit of a clean and polish, that'll look smashing. It looks really nice. Keep them pictures coming...

Time to bump this thread up. The senior mechanic at the LBS in Basingstoke - Winklebury - remembers that Mike Price had two bike shops in Kent at one time. I had mine refurbished in 1996 and the shop popped simple decals on with Reynolds stickers. It has 531 tubing, Mavic MA40 rims and Campy Vittoria groupset. Still a joy on the road.
