I’d be interested to know what you thought of the ride characteristics of the bikes. I’m an 80’s fan, think that was a pinnacle for design and function, but probably just an attribute of my age since that was when I got serious about cycling.

Beautiful bike builds, but none are my size. If you do a 49cm frame, let me know. That Alan fascinates me. It is carbon tubes glued onto lugs. Did you say it fell apart after 42 KM, too bad

Mercians are just lovely. I’ve wanted to build one for many, many years. If you ever build one in a 54 cm and consider selling it, let me know. I’d love to take a look.

Do you mind sharing if you generally get your money back when selling? Make some, lose some??

Bike Forums has a “Classic and Vintage” sub-forum good for info, and a buy/sell area.

How do you find the original catalog specs for these older bikes? And do you paint and decal them yourself too? Beautiful work BTW.

I’ve got an old titanium frame (1972) which I would like to equip with index shifting. What dérailleurs and shift levers would you recommend for a 7 speed freewheel ?

All of these are beautiful builds
