Re:

Bit too big for me.

Shame, I have one of their mtb's, and it'd be fun to add a road bike too.

@shaun I totally agree, it's a bit too modern for me as well, I just though it looked lovely

@Neil That would be excellent to add to the stable.
What does your caygill MTB ride like?

Nice frame.......just a bit modern sort of sums it up for me too

Yep, my Avatar is me on a hill climb (Spout Hill) about 1975 / 6 dressed in Hull Thursday Road Club Colours, I got lots of stick because it looks like I'm not trying. I'm on my pink Falcon road bike stripped down with a small chainring and front mech removed (every bit helps LOL), we had to ride there so it was a bit easier than messing about with my TT bike.

As you can see I've got quit big legs but small upper body, this is because I was a TT bod so didn't need any upper body strength to push those Alf Enger big gears LOL.

The pink Falcon is in the middle of a refurb...... it's in the pic behind my TT bike frame

Nice piccie Shaun.
A good bit of history there and some superb chromed lugs on that falcon.
What you plan to do with it?
