Interesting, if it’s a copy it’s a very good quality one. The molding seems near identical and the quality of the plastic and printing is at least as good as a genuine one.
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere - couldn’t find anything via search.
This morning I acquired an immaculate Crud Catcher in red, only the second I’ve ever seen - the first was ten years ago, also pictured below.
Question is; the logos are different; I now realise I’ve never seen...
May sound strange, but the Cinelli ‘glow in the dark’ C Ribbon would go really well with those tyres and the rest of the colour scheme - it is a weird kind of off white in daylight.
There are a few builders I really admire, but in terms of grail-type rarity the one I’d really love to find would be a Thanet - with the weird bottom bracket and stays… preferably at the bottom of a pile of unloved bikes, ‘just take it away mate’ type price etc…
This F+F along with a whole bunch of other stuff (including a mk2 Brompton and a ton of spares) will be at the Bristol Bike Jumble on Saturday, before eventually making its way to evilbay if still unsold...
I have a lovely 1987 Raleigh Royal frameset for sale, however it’s a 60cm so may be a little on the tall side for you - I’m not much taller but take a 34 leg jean.
Can attest to 531 frames for covering miles though - the Royal saw me through multiple century rides in supreme comfort.
