The new project: Dave Yates reynolds 531st & mid 80's according to the man himself, I will get a proper date when I take it up to Dave's place to get the rear dropouts respaced & the brake bridge altered.

Not so keen on the colour myself, but from what I can tell from the slightly blurry photo that is in some fine nick!

You can 'Sheldon' that yourself with a bit of 4" x 2" - I did, works fine.

Built this for a mate, transfered all the parts off a Giant Trance onto this Genesis 853 with On-One forks.

Built another Genesis up

Here's the new Kiffenbik, replacing the old one which I wrapped into a tree.

Ah, same as mine. Definitely my favourite colour scheme of any of the Kaffs.

My Dawes Century SE.
I have had this bike 6 weeks or so, done around 650 miles on it and enjoyed every one. I have changed the saddle for a San Marco Rolls, changed the seat post, stem & bars & added a Carradice Pendle saddle bag. I am hoping to buy some hand-made wheels for it fairly soon. This picture was taken yesterday near Studham in Hertfordshire

I've had this Thorn for 4 years now and have loved riding her. Just brought a Carbon (wash my mouth out) bike and so this will now become my commute bike from the 6th August (work is relocating to 8.5 miles up the road, currently 38 miles each way). I could barely look her in the spokes when i came home with the new bike, it was like i was having affair with another woman!!!

Mmmmm fillet brazed loveliness mmmmm ... or do you weld 853? either way, you'll have to let me know if you need someone to babysit it while you're on your holidays - turn the wheels occasionally, that sort of thing...

This is my blast from the past.

A CTC Roadspeed 10, I believe it is from the 50's or 60's, I want to use it as a spare bike but it is currently out of action and needs a new pedal arm pin, (Cotter pin).

I'm currently in the process of fixing it and will hopefully use it in a vintage ride.

Nottingham built Raleigh Aquilus.

Bike came from Ebay for £30, and I have spent about £80 tidyding it up not counting odds and end I already had in the shed. I am pleased with it.

My 501 Carlton Kermesse, which I bought new in 1988. She looks a little different now (so do I come to that) with her new wheels and a couple of other bits.
