Geoff Wiles 653 with Campagnolo - 50cm Purple/ White

I have this absolutely lovely Geoff Wiles Reynolds 653 bike for sale. Its 50cm (c-t) by 49cm (c-c) so for the shorter among us.

It's a superb build featuring mainly Campagnolo Chorus components (hubs, headset, brake calipers, ergo shifters, and front mech, rear mech is Racing T and the chainset is TA triple (167.5mm with smaller rings maybe 28, 38, 48). Also includes a Cinelli XA stem with Criterium bars, Miche Supertype seatpost with a San Marco Squadra saddle and Rigida SP60 rims.

Paint is in pretty good nick, a few marks here and there but nothing that really detracts from the overall look, the worst paint is on the chainstay which has suffered some chain slap. Features internally routed brake cable, straight forks, etc.

Rides like a dream and wants for nothing.

Really not sure what to price it at so I'm going to say £500 which looking on eBay seems a pretty reasonable price. I'm not in a serious rush to sell it but if you think the price is unreasonable please feel free to make me an offer

Collection from Kent ME11 or I'll post via courier for £30

I may be wrong but I thought Geoff Wiles didn't actually do the frame building and had a number built by the likes of master builder, Bill Philbrook. Could this be a Philbrook?

You are correct.
Up until the first lockdown I was riding with Geoff every Tuesday.

I don't know about that, although it looks as though it is the case^
Coincidentally I did used to work for Geoff about 28 years ago! (omg!!) I knew he didn't build his own bikes but never found out who did, until now ;)
