Re: Re:

My favourite British made bikes, just something about them, as well as the cool name.

I think it would be fair to say the closest comparison to an imported American handbuilt bike/Brand would have been Fat Chance too.

And Petes right too, there is something about the softer colours, skinny tubes and Campag.

It's feminine yet masculine at the same time. Pepto pink and grey surprisingly works.

Re:

Eight is quite a lot of tweaks between years but I guess if they had feedback and more input from the builder then it would make sense.

I love the pink and grey, as you say - it just works especially with the grey of the Campagnolo kit.

My Z-classic is the opposite. Grey with pink decals!

It would have been a help the Sponsored rider hand in hand with the frame builder at the time perhaps, it could only have helped with racing feedback I would have thought, as well as trying to have an edge on the competition.

I'm only pulling your leg. It feels like all I do is diy at the moment, so I'm just jealous.
Another cracking bike!
