Part II...
Some years ago I managed to break the chainstay on this about 100km into the Bryan Chapman audax. I got lucky and managed to find a Welsh garage open that MIG welded it for me and amazingly I even managed to finish the ride.
I then continued to ride it for some time beyond that, until Matt built me a more audax oriented and fashionable frame. My broken frame then had an extended holiday at the bottom of the repair pile in the Talbot workshop, before moving to Mitcham to do the same in Isen's workshop.
Until a couple of years ago when I extracted it and took it to Vaz to get the paint shotblasted off. It then had another rest until later last year when it re-emerged with a new stainless rear end. Following another short break of 6 months or so it finally gained paint. After this it got delayed a bit more by a global pandemic + discovering the old wheels weren't compatible with the second hand di2 group I'd bought.
Until now...
