Dirt Disciple
Just collected a bike to commute on, and it's rather nice for £50
Just wonder who might have built it 482982. Just seems quite fancy for a el cheapo off the peg. I know the seatpost is 26.8

26.8 denotes it as Reynolds 501 - at least for the seat tube. Nice seat stays, internal cable routing..yeah its a nice rig.Geoffrey Butler were in the middle of lots of framebuilders and farmed work out. Roberts would have built some of their bikes but equally anybody from a dozen SE London framebuilders may have done so. It was quite a tight scene and work was shared around.
