Just had a look on the link you put on they've been going for a long time and like you say involved alot with cyclocross bikes. So this must be one of there cyclocross bikes because in the photos it looks quite chunky.
I was always intrigued with cyclocross in the late 80"s but as mountain bikes started to appear i was drawn to them.
I think nows my time to make a cyclocross bike then, it would be great for going to work and taking the long way back on some gravel wagon ways.
When it arrives i'll get some photos of it and email them to see if they remember it and can throw light on what make frame and forks they used, or they may have made it themselves 😊

Cheers
 
Could be a road bike though lol
Maybe i'll make a cycloroadcross bike instead 😃

Yeah, I'd guess it's a road bike, designed for winter training type use with the mudguard eyelets and clearances - cyclocross bikes tended to have canti or v-brakes, whereas it looks like your frame is designed for calipers. Anyway, it'll definitely make a decent gravel bike if that's the plan.

I don't know if they actually made their own bikes or just badged them up. I would guess the latter.
 
Long time cyclocross specialist. That frame isn't a cyclocross bike. He has a long standing relationship with Ridley. Many of the bikes he used to trade were probably painted at Ridley (if not Ridley's them selves) Tom pidcock came up as a junior riding for the Paul Milne's team. Ask anyone that's into cyclocross and they'll know.
