Hi, complete newbie to the forum here.

I had one of these gorgeous Yorkshire created beasties too!
I bought mine in 1990, it was frame number RC 0169, if I recall correctly.

It was a brilliant bike, & I liked it immensely.

I kept it for about 6 years (may be 7?), before selling it to (my future) brother-in-law.

First ever race



Typical Yorkshire Cyclo-Cross weather!



After the 93(?)/94(?) renovation




The only downsides I had were;
1. My name.............. too many people thought I was the other Richard Thackeray (the Pace factory rider)
Although it once worked to my advantage, as it got me an introduction to Adrian Carter & Duncan McDonald)

2. The Bullseye cranks were forever working loose, the splines weren't worn, the allen-bolt tightened up, even Loc-Tite didn't work :twisted:

however, the cleanliness didn't last long :roll:

Don't worry, the cleanliness won't last on this either, it'll have a few good rides - there's nothing like that 'new bike' ride!
