Re:

Lovely. Rick is ex SBDU and not surprisingly produced top class frames. Some of his two tone paint paint fades were glorious. I had a 531 pro made for me which I regrettably had to sell but still have a 753 which is top of my pile.

Very Cool. I like that colour.

Springtime bike or summer best?

Anytime bike!

Just come back from 40 mile commute...

Added mudguards as per original spec.

Re:

Here's my Powell.
753 with 7800 group.
It has since been improved with Open pro/Miche wheels, silver seatpost, shorter stem (age related compromise :roll: ) and more tasteful bar tape.
