Picked up this beauty today.
Put in a silly bid on eBay, wasn't even sure of the size, but saw some of the kit was good. Ended up winning and am really pleased!
I'm guessing early 1990s going by the colour and the bar tape. Colour is not my usual cup of tea but is growing on me.
Condition is near perfect other than a dirty chain, I haven't even dusted over for a photo.
The bike has got a lovely spec, and with a bit of air in the tubs ready to ride. Look at the clearance on the rear wheel! Good news is the size is perfect for me.
I've had a quick read on the web and here and discovered that the builder, Rick Powell used to work for Carlton, and Raleigh, then independently. There's also a news paper article from 2002 that says he built Victoria Pendletons training bikes. Any further information would be gratefully received.
