Lets hope it makes a difference. Update us on progress please! 🤞🤞🤞

Thanks @JCS still can't believe I have one of Tim Gould's old race bikes. Makes me smile just looking at it 🙂 and even happier when riding it! 😁

It's sure good to "geek out" but you 100% still need to keep your sense of humour...

I sense another great resto will be on it's way in the not too distant future!

They don't look that pushed back, but photo might be deceiving. What a bummer, because as you know that was a very cool frameset... :(😢

I like their ridiculous levers!!! ;) Overbuild to the MAX, especially the Euclid ergo ones!!! The Olympus ones though were truly awful (cheap & nasty) However those Record OR ones for sale are proper nice!!! 😍:cool:

This is lovely. Loving the mystery behind this frameset which gets us all discussing what it is/isn't. Looking forward to seeing this progress. What are your plans for this build? I'm guessing your first plan is finding out what it actually is!!!

Nice build and super clean to boot! Some magic fairy has been busy cleaning and restoring that beauty!

Indeed @Betsy you were bang on the money. Wanted @Caj Remtiw input as far as I’m aware he has some association with CBR from BITD. This process is used for many bike parts as it’s way more efficient than CNC’ng a big block and stronger too boot. Rob Warner did a nice visit to the Hope Factory...

Thanks for this insight @Caj Remtiw 👌🙏😍

That's a decent check list ticked off!

Zero provenance. I wonder what @Caj Remtiw thinks to this???

If you’re a big Cooks Bros Racing fan then be my guest and but some CBR paper weight! It’s wrongly listed, but I assume seller has zero technical knowledge. As discussed it’s a half finished crank that was never finished for some reason or another - might have been used at trade shows to show...

I think she only favoured Shimano as it was easier to say repeatedly! Try saying Campagnolo quickly 5 times in a thick Irish accent. Go on….

Who did Nitto out source to then?! 😉
