Trouble is that it wasn't! It was Dave Bonner on a Condor with 54.28.
However, nice 'Old Skool' TT bike, just like I used to ride when I was a lad.
You should get in touch with - www.classiclightweights.co.uk - they may be interested in featuring it.

The 'new' seat stay fitting they mention is probably the exact opposite of the wrap-over type and is the 'shot-in' style where the two seat stays meet at (or just below) the seat-pin clamp. How 'new' this was is probably open to debate as I'm sure it was used by other builders over the years.
