ONE OF THE TWO: Bridgestone MB-1, large - OR - Neil Orrell 531st tourer, 59 ctc

Neil Orrell is the bike I have the longest, and the one who gave more miles and smiles than any other one. It's a 531st tourer, lovely forks with a beautiful curve, clearance for 32mm + guards (I've fitted 35mm Compass there with guards), chromed details, beefy stays for carrying load. It's a great bike, bought from this forum a few years ago and since upgraded with new wheels, dynamo, beautiful Nitto stem and seatpost (to put a Brooks in the right place for me), and GB mudguards. Condition is a pretty solid 'used'. There are marks, scuffs, dents on the guards, but it's all working reliably. The frame might deserve a posher build.

This is the frame's history according to Mr Orrell himself, in 2014:

the frame was built in 1979 for a Graham Trunks, who looked after it well as you say, Graham has poor health now so he handed his bikes over to his son to dispose of. The frame was re-enamelled perhaps about 5 or 6 years ago but I don't think it has been used much since.

Well, it has seen plenty of use in the past years. Enough romanticising, specs are:

Stack: 598mm
Reach: 383mm
Seat tube: 590mm ctc
Top tube: 560mm ctc
