that black anno one is the 94/5 and should fit your frame mount nevada, the caliper floats on 2 posts so if kept clean it self aligns.

I thought it important to add this to the British Steel Thread.

Here's a contribution to the merriment. Up and rolling at last:


All the best,

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!

Fantastic Highpath!

AT LAST! I get to make contribution to this thread with my newly completed, just shaken down this afternoon with a 15k on / off road ride.

Yates Diabolo.

Cool - saw one so these for the first time on the Surrey National last year.



Thanks for adding this Carl - it's a stunning build as always.



Looking good Neil - did you like it?

The DONKIS a Mavic/XTR 1 1/8" head set - must be patient and not pull the eBay BIN trigger on the NOS ones in the states!!

Still stuck on my builds - the Wiskas is waiting for a HOPE disc set up for the rear - figured I'd need to et this set up confirm and Ok before spending lots on the frame re-furb. I did get a nice 3ttt quill stem for it the other day though which will really suit the build I am planning:

Are you kidding? It's a fantastic bike, very direct, excellent steering and great traction when climbing.

Overall, it's a very easy ride.

How the fudge did i miss this thread?

You've seen them before, not really in the same class as Yates & Co but pretty decent in their own right:

The you-know-what:



The other you-know-what:









And the Green nobody-knows-what:

After seeing this stem, i am very impressed, if this is going where i hope it will end up, we already have a BOTY winner.

Those three are so cool, and I really like the shape of the 'you know what'. I'm sorry to say I've never heard of the builder, but I do like what you've done with the frame.

Can i just congratulate WADSY...., for a great win for this months BOTM,
with a gorgeous and now rare quality English bike, and on the weekend of our Queens Jubilee too....

RULE BRITANNIA.

It was the natural choice.

Well done Wadsy!

Heres my custom built British frame.
I've just had it powder coated & done a resto on it. Its a 1 off Thorn frame built from Colombus Foco tubing. It was a prototype mtb that ended up becoming the Raven Enduro Rohloff equipped mtb's. Fillet Brazed to a very high standard with straight bladed forks. I'm just a seatpost shim & some new handlebars away from finishing it.

I remembered that I had forgotten to add something here...here's one for now

NICE!

That looks scarily like my current build, you are obviously a man of great taste

Where are Thorn frames made?

I know SJS are in Bridgwater (just down the road from me), are the frames made locally?
