  • I have a Chick Frame & a complete Chick bike. The 1st is a frame made by Barry for the Trusty Viscount team & the 2nd is a Time Trial Bike made by Shorters

  • Enter your text here...I'm sorry but I'm not very internet 'friendly' & I have no Camera! My 1st meeting with Barry Chick was in the late 70s when we both rode the Barnet CC 10 on the A1000. I have many 'Chick' bicycles/frames.

  • I know Barry. I ride with him. Could put anyone in touch if need be.

  • Nice Barry Chick currently on eBay from original owner, collection Wellingborough

  • I'd love to find out more about the provenance of my frame (bought on here). Chances of asking Barry about it?

  • 4 months of fun, thanks @Richard_Castle. Would be incredibly grateful if anyone can help me recover my chick

  • My other half got this back in the 80's. Her dad got it from Alan Shorter .
    Sorry can't seem to get more than one pic up.
    Before I have it restored, would love to know more, tubing etc. Any clues?
    I recently got a low pro shorter identical paint scheme with 531 professional tubing but no maker sticker

  • Hello my name is Antony adams i used to own a barry chick most amazing super fast machine that i have ever owned and i have had a lot over the years 2 hottas zx1 carbon cannondale titanium .
    I used to get up to 50 mph down bishops hill in ipswich ,regrettably it had a crack on the downtube directly behind headtube normal place if thin tubing,
    i was an idiot and never got it repaired as i did not realise how much of a cult important the bike was , Bare frame weight was 3lbs 6oz very light to this day i have no idea what the tubing was other than it was columbus so it could not be reynolds 753 possible columbus record or very rare ishiwata tubing

  • Thank you was taken in 1996

  • I had exactly the same issue with my Chick and did exactly the same thing and didn't get it repaired, still regret it, loved that bike!

  • Hello what was yous made from must of been thin tubing

  • Hey, I'm not entirely sure, it may have been 531 but I've got a feeling it was some Columbus tubing, was a great bike, gutted with how it turned out and that I got rid of it in the manner that I did 😔

  • I have a 1975 Barry Chick / Shorter-Rockford road frame.

  • Do you think this is one? I’ve not been able to find any information on it

  • Looks to be the right font for a Shorter but may not mean it's a Barry Chick bike, might be worth getting in contact with Shorter-Rochford and seeing if they know anything based off of the serial number?

  • It’s not got a serial number just the name Evans
    It weighs bugger all
