Reynolds 653 Appreciation!

MartinB123 · May 26, 2021

Thought I'd revive this thread as I've bought another 653-tubed bike today.

Hopefully collecting tomorrow, and on comparison with the catalogue, it's looking very original (and unloved) too.

I've had one more 653 since I last posted. Here she is:

This one is a Cougar micro-tt frame (I think!) and is realistically too small for me so it will probably be sold on at some point

Check out these 653 beauties from none other than legend Graeme Obree. If 653 is good enough for a legend and former hour record holder it's good enough for us mere mortal recreational riders.
