Managed to make some more space in the inn!
Picked this up yesterday from the depths of Surrey. Reynolds 531 throughout with the classic marks of a Cliff Shrubb frame. It was custom made for Graham Woods in 1993 who used to race quite a lot back in the day. He rode it quite a lot over the recent years and "overtakes young lads going up box hill" quite often apparently.
Had to call in a favour from a mate of mine who lives in south to give us a lift to pick it up. Turns out he did work experience at Pearsons where Cliff used to work. My mate didn't realise til halway back to Purley who the frame was made by! I then helped him make the connection and he remembers spending a whole week of "work experience" making cups of tea for Cliff and the Pearson brothers while putting together basic bmx's and kids bikes.. the world feels really small sometimes.
Anyways heres a prelim photo to get us going. Build plan etc to follow. -
