My one time work bike never let me down !

Yes I saw this lovely bike and it's near me , unfortunately too small . Great bike for someone though !.

I never subscribed to the date stamps matching obsession but if you buy an original bike you might be surprised . A decent anorak used to be Army stores but I went upmarket and bought a Berghaus , it works when walking the dog in a down pour and you can layer up in the Winter .

I can definitely say I am a bike nerd / Campagnolo anorak !. People have unrealistic hopes of what a bike part will sell in today's market and think when they have a Campag part they are holding aluminium gold . This rear mech must have been stored in a cup of Baldricks mud tea from the last...

Good morning , I have a 55cm Raleigh Royale in Reynolds 708 good condition . Presently it is a full bike which I would sell for 220 pounds with original specification. Alternatively frame set only with head set would be 150 pounds . Shipping would be extra . I can send you pictures this evening...

Hi good morning , The head lugs the way they. are done at the front of the head tube looks very Galmozziesque . Also the seat stay caps look right too. The fork crown looks more modern than for this vintage of Galmozzi but the paint matches. The braze on fittings ie top tube cable guides and...

Since Brexit you have to be crafty and a bit of a smuggler . Of course you have to find someone who is willing to ship to you and comply with extra red tape on the EU side . A lot of Europeans treat the UK like a leprosy colony and stay well clear . At work I always payed tax before I got my...

From the pictures it looks to be Peugeot built , I can't see many British frame builders using those simplex rear drop outs . Many pro riders would ride the Sun tour in Australia and also the stage races held in South Africa in our winter . Some winter warmth and sunshine to be had with decent...

Lovely bike with a rare colour enjoy !

Unbelievable skill from this builder what a talent !

For sale this Gazelle top of the range in 1995 Exception frame set with Campagnolo Record headset . I bought this in the vain vague hope I could trade it for a size 56cm . This is a rare full blown race frame . Seat tube measures 59cm centre to top and 56cm centre to centre top tube . The...

I can't see the British builders taking on Taiwan any time soon in batch production of frames . It is good that the chap is trying to do this if people get a decent safe product at a reasonable price and he can make a business of it .

I would have put money on that being Sean Kelly and was surprised to see it was Jorge Muller , a Swiss rider winning a Swiss race good footage .

I will second the ultra romance thumbs up !.

We live in the age of the internet . A frame builder can Market , self promote and show their work to millions for very little if any outlay . The downside to that is if there is customer dissatisfaction they can be very publicly crucified . The owner of Ellis Briggs perhaps hit the perfect...
