80's throwback
Retro Newbie
Hello all.
Back in 1983, I was lucky enough to have a Raleigh Team Replica with Campagnolo Record/ Mavic GP4's. It was stolen from my shed in Hackney after about 6 months.
I was then good friends with Tom Board, who built frames for two friends and myself. They were Columbus tubed, fully chromed and then the main tubes only were sprayed over with lustre colour (mine was red). One friend had his in green, the other in blue.
These frames looked absolutely fantastic. I have never seen another frame finished in this way.
I have always wondered what ever happened to the 3 frames, my bike was stolen in Islington in late 1984 while running an errand for my then employer. I still remember having to walk back about 3 miles wearing Smurf blue Brancale over shoes and cleats on Adidas Merckx shoes.
The frames had T.Board engraved on the top of the seat stays and on the Cinelli fork crowns.
Bit of a long shot but just wondered if anyone here had come across them?
Charlie.
