Show us your... Overbury's

I mentioned in my post that I had bought my then girlfriend a tourer from Overburys. Technically, it was branded "Andy Powell". She hasn't used it a lot over the intervening 35 years, but her husband recently had it restored to be as close as the original as he could get it. Nothing particularly special at this point - just your bog-standard custom handmade 531 700c tourer, but ... they were and are nice bikes, eh?

Re:

Well, two days ago I didn't expect to be joining this thread, but (assuming I'm right with my ID) when opportunity knocks....

Overburys is a builder I was aware of, but not very knowledgeable about so here goes.

I'd probably date it at 88ish ? It looks like it was originally full yellow paint.

No visible frame number on the BB shell - anywhere else to look?

Re:

Yes, I'd go with late '88...since it still has a rollercam, but has changed over from the Reynolds double bend chainstays to the Columbus single bend oval ones.

All the best,
