Like I said it hurt a bit after collecting the parts over all those years , but its a fairly rare frame set not many pioneers had the straight forks, I'm more than happy with it, plus my mate is stoked ! He's Been in his loft all afternoon digging things out,
it's not that small a frame, I'm over six foot and it fits me fine we offered up the 89 frame next to it and if anything the orange one is a tad bigger, I think the bars will have to go as we'll as the levers and shifter, I'll fit a Paul duo lever an upside down grip shirt and an front XT2 thumbshifter so I can ride it properly, might change to a slightly more angled stem as well, BITD it was all tall seat posts and low long stems, but I'm old and battered now !

Sounds great, can't wait to see its development. Glad those bars are going, they dont look right at all

You are right they just don't fit, plus I can't use them as designed anyway !
There's a possibility I may change the colour scheme as well although I joked earlier I may get a sticker that says "Built in Bristol and runs like Clockwork" if it stays orange and white !
I know a few people here liked the colours but I'm tempted to do a similar version of the 89 frame that was scalloped in charcoal and silver as it looked great and I always fancied a red version of that.

Im stoked both you and your friend got what they wanted...

And that has to be the coolest thing I have heard for a long time.....
"HAND-built in Bristol and runs like CloCkWoRk".

That has just got to be YOUR signature surely..... AWESUM....

To be Fair.....If only Andy P, hand run an AD campaign with that....., That would have made a Lengendary Advert.

I took your advice !

I'd like to speak to Andy again if only to find out the details on this frame.
It's a shame the way Overbury's went !
I'll upload the pictures tomorrow in a new thread, the frame is in great condition a few small spots of corrosion, but nothing bad and under that horrible seat cover was a pristine white Rolls saddle !
