Re: Re:

Some pics please!

And the damage to the chainstay is cosmetic?

Nye

I would not call it damage, it is a very slight crush but wouldn't even notice after a repaint.

Pics sent.

Re: FS - Rare Ken Bird TT frameset.

Thinning out my collection of unrestored frames, this rare Ken Bird TT frameset features, but first thing is that not only is this a rare frame but I've not seen lugs like this on a Ken Bird before -

lovely lugs
shot in seat stays
Chainstay bridge - none
vertical rear dropouts
extensively lightened BB shell
128mm/130mm rear end.

Braze ons include over the BB cable run to rear mech, pair bottle bosses, pair gearlever bosses, top tube brake cable bosses.

Size - tt = 21.5 inches c2c, st = 21 & 1/4 inches, technically very good but slight crush on driveside chainstay, cosmetically challenged paint though - not rusty and pitted. Would make a very nice, very rare bicycle when restored.

I always struggle to load images here on RB, so pm me your email if genuinely interested and I'll send some.

£175.00.

Jon.

P.S not been around much of late, spent first quarter of year in Spain and Brother been very ill in London hospital - improving now.

Very surprised (or am I ?) this rare frameset has not generated any genuine enquiries.

Hi,

Did this ever sell? I already have one of kens bikes and would love a other winter project.

Hi

Apologies for the late reply, frameset sold some time ago to the first genuine enquiry - alas to no-one on RB.

Cheers, Rk.
