• These are TB14s - it's a 90s repro Bates (built by Ron Cooper, lugs cut by Len Phipps in Ray Etherton's incarnation of Clasic Bikes) and I built with all modern components with a classic look. Been out for a spin in the sunshine on it today, first ride in nearly 3 months, felt great :)

    It's quite a heavy wheelset in the end even with Sapim Laser spokes 😎

    [I was particularly chuffed to get the saddle, can't remember exactly but I paid a hundred and something rather than a grand like they're listed for now. As far as I can tell it was from an early sample sale, I stalked the seller (on Facebook - it is for birds after all) and she was a Japanese fashion designer in London. Funny old world.]

    A little out of context, sorry. Continuation of some gaglordery from another thread. For the record I am not on FB for the birds 😂 [I have just started to get sucked back in for the bikes thanks to your pal.]
