Reynolds 653 Appreciation!

[MartinB123]

Thought I'd revive this thread as I've bought another 653-tubed bike today.



Hopefully collecting tomorrow, and on comparison with the catalogue, it's looking very original (and unloved) too.

I've had one more 653 since I last posted. Here she is:



This one is a Cougar micro-tt frame (I think!) and is realistically too small for me so it will probably be sold on at some point

Wow, that's a steep seat tube!!!

Check out these 653 beauties from none other than legend Graeme Obree. If 653 is good enough for a legend and former hour record holder it's good enough for us mere mortal recreational riders.
