Rourke / Brian Rourke Owners Club (post your bike)

And now I can’t decide, black or white saddle. Think I’m swaying towards black?

This is my Rourke 853 Di2 - I was inspired by the steel racers in the USA at the time - Speedvagens and Breadwinners, but wanted it built in Stoke!

Regrettably, I just don't get to ride it nowadays, so it's time for my third child to find a new home where the bike will be appreciated and ridden. Sales link on LFGSS (apologies for blatant hijack of this thread!):

Beautiful bike, and lovely build.
Sadly too small.
I've always wanted a 953 rourke, looks like reynolds have ceased supplying tubeset for now atleast.
Columbus xcr is available tho.
GLWS

I have a set of Brian Rourke decals (like these ones: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16268171/) which i will not be using. Originals, supplied by the shop.

If they are of use to anyone let me know and I will stick in the post or you can collect SE19. No charge.

That’s nice, what forks are they? Custom decals?

Another lovely summer being spent on this great bike!

That's really nice.

Yeah, that is a beaut. Can never remember if second hand price was more or less than a silver ISEN headbadge upgrade 🤣

The forks are Columbus. The decals I made myself.

Now up for sale in the classifieds :(

Switched over to some 40mm Maxxis Velocita's and having some fun plowing through the dirt and mud.

So happy this is getting well loved!

So good with that fat headtube and the wrapover seatstays! Major case of BDHU tho…

Awful photo, but picked up this 708 Rourke with full 8speed DA last week, has everything minus the seat post

Looking forward to cleaning it up and taking it out in better weather

Great bike. I have the all-steel, nodder, touring version with neutral scoblestack in the pipeline

Yes, such a great bike!

That frame colour + headset colour is lovely!

Dyrehaven? Not many steel bikes around.

Dyrehaven indeed!

I run into a steel bike or two occasionally when i ride in that area. But no, there aren't too many of us.. :)

I'll wave if I ever see that Rourke ;-)

Yes, please do!

My 953, sram red etap with praxis crank, arkane carbon ti and carbon spoke wheelset with superleggero finishing kit. Love this bike
