Pretty innit? It has 650c front and 700c rear. Would this always have been the case? (I don't think that a 700c would fit in the front but am not sure that the brake would reach a 650c at the back) Also the weirdest chainset 42/39 front (eh?) Younger persons are often reluctant to use front mechs. In this case I agree! There is hardly any point!

Adult (short) woman's bike?

I am guessing that the club had it built to sponsor a "promising" youngster...
that's one helluva guess. Not impossible, but highly unlikely ... unless you know of the backstory

The bike is in club colours, and has a name "P.Hudson" on the top-tube.....
