I really loved that bike....at posing at Malham Cove.
Stuck in the mud on the Claerwen Reservoir circuit
My sort of road, back route up Snowdon from Llanberis
Posing on Otterspool Prom, Liverpool. I'd sprayed the 2tone blue frame to this blackcurrant yoghurt to reduce interest from the scallies. Still had day-glo green cables though
Beachy Head, and hair!
This was Easter 1986 in Llanwrtyd Wells. I think this is the first 3 Pioneers built. Mine is the 2tone blue in the middle. At the back is the red/silver one belonging to Steve Devine from Overbury's/The mountain Centre, at the front is my mate Dudley White's silver/blue one. As you can see it was cold and wet...It snowed later that day.

U/k model but was advertised as a Pioneer. It is completely fillet brazed which seems rare, has top routed cables, and no canti-stop (assuming V brake specific).
There are remnants of declas, Overbury's in small lettering at the front of the top tube, an "O" on the seat tube and head tube.
I am guessing is either a late Pioneer / custom frame. The shop (Overbury's) confirmed it was an Overbury's but nothing else.
It is in a state and will take an age to sort out. The seat post is stuck fast, possibly beyond my abilities and I havent attempted to remove the BB yet!
There are no dents in the tubing but I am a little concerned as I THINK there is a ripple under the down tube where it meets the head tube!!! Obviously this may mean a front end impact. I hope not as that could mean a write off, the angles look OK from the mock up but no forks came with it which would back that theory up.
