It’s mine! It’s done very few miles. The original owner bought it and didn’t like it so it sat in his shed. His daughter had a local bike shop get it suited to her and they changed the bars and stem. Can’t bring myself to split it.

Thanks guys

Hi, Does anyone recognise the brake shown below? Thanks

Interested in a SS bike with track ends - rear facing horizontal drop outs. Steel or Ti. 18 or 19in. Any out there?

could you post a few pictures up?

Thanks! Looks like the likely candidate 👍🏻

Distinctive seat cluster reminds me of brodies and Rocky Mountains

Anyone have any idea what this is? Ritchey hood style drop outs and headset may be good clues….

New year bump

Think i’ve got it all on a little used 88/89 ubrake Cape Wrath. Some might be M730. Nice Araya Rm20 too, gold label anodised. Will have a look today and see what’s what.

Lovely bike. Seen on here a few years ago! https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1989-swallow-merlin-xt-drum-brake.142839/page-4

Ah ok, is that why you suggest looking inside the head tube? To see if there’s red paint inside?

The serial list says this didn’t have a painted headtube? Is the bike on this site somewhere?

Thanks all. Does look like some fillets and dropouts have been welded in

This caught my eye…interesting looking frame..not at least the dropout area. Kaktus Bike is a new one on me for the front wheel and hub - from Slovakia. Anyone have any idea what the frame is. Oval top tube.
