Here's the newest addition to the collection. This all started out as donated old frame from a mate of mine. Brian Rourke did a fine job restoring one of their old frames to its former glory, and all that was then needed was a smattering of nice bits and bobs to go on it. Fingers crossed the weather holds tomorrow so that i can put it through its paces.....

Bring on the London 2 Brighton!!!!!

It's just painted, not stove enamelled.

Rourke's rates were very reasonable imho. The frame was in a right state(i regret not taking any pics) when it went in, and the full three colour respray, all decals, and a new 1'' Campag Record headset came in at £147. Seemed like a bargain to me.
