Looking cool

Couple of questions What frame size is it (how tall are you ?) and any close up pics of the crank ? Never seen a girvin before and it sounds interesting

WD

You must have posted more whilst I was typing ! Crank is well cool

nice but a little bit over dressed with that fork.

top of seat mast to centre of bb is 20 inch , centre to centre is 18.5 , so i think its a way big , i am 6`2

will look for some pics think i had some , but in all my time on retrobike (4 years now?) these are the only pair i ever saw come up on e bay

nah , these forks were made for this frame

found em ..........

Lovely, simply lovely.

Yeah, very nice. Good choice of parts.

Ride mine 4 or 5 days a week still, great bikes.

Pretty sure Henrik Djernis rode one of these, albeit with elastomers instead of springs.
