Still buying things I didn't know I needed until I saw them. Somone sold me a lovely chain guide recently .....

What a beauty 😍

The Avanti started as a lugged fork but moved to a unicrown by 1989. The Ozark and lower were unicrown earlier from 1987, I think.

The Ozark had at least three paint schemes. White to red fade, red to black fade and an orange-yellow-white fade which I think was a mid-year scheme before the new bigger lugged rage replaced them. Avanti - a white to turquoise fade, a black to speckley grey/white, and a yellow/black Team...

If I have free time in Sheffield I'll send a message and arrange to come and see that Clark Kent - I'm always interestedin seeing the early titanium bikes.

I can't be of any help with information, but I love that. It's a good job I haven't seen anything that cool and in that size on Ebay, because I have no room but not sure I could resist. Any build plans or does that depend on confirming Pollard as the maker first?
