Here is the finished Rory O Brien, the frame dates from 1962, the frame and forks have a serial number 6281, which tallies with the original owner memory of buying the frame from the Manor Park shop in 1962. I know that several frame builders were used by Rory in that era, namely Vic Edwards, Les Ephgrave and Wally Green, if anyone can identify the builder please let me know.
The frame has been finished in Black with Burgundy headstock and rings on the down tube, I have done the lug lining myself, the decals were from World Decals and a final coat of 2K lacquer applied.
The running gear is 1970’s Shimano 600 arabesque, I have had to make a rear brake dropper, but the brakes will now fit both 27” and 700c wheels. I am using 27” Weinmann rims and some 27 x 1 1/8” Panaracer tyres.
The old Brooks Pro saddle site on a Selle San Marco G.S. Special seatpost and the bars and stem are both GB.
