So my plan is to swap the components onto another frame, my original goal was to build a 90's race bike and I think the Brian Rourke/Dave Hinde was a bit too tall and the frame was actually from the late 70's.
So I bought this frame off the forum a few months ago for a song. What attracted it to me was the unusual Reynolds 731os tubing and the wishbone seat stay detail, all fillet brazed together apart from the BB. These appeared to be the mark of a high end frame that was unique.
Doing a bit of research on the forum, it looks like it has changed hands a few times...
I found it on retrobike from 2020 from someone who got it on eBay
Then it looks like @Pancake had it 3 years ago and sold it on
Then it went to @Juice.Bikes I think who I bought it off. It had been resprayed in what is actually a cool paint scheme, however it was with rattle can it looks like, and easily chipped.
