Hello London, greetings from San Francisco. Thought I'd share the stable... Dont ask me how I ended up with 3 (i actually have a 4th frameset) English bicycles in California, it just kind of happened. What can I say, you guys make solid machines...
late 70s, early 80's Geoffery Butler track bike, actually made by roberts. Reynolds 531, Fillet brazed. Zipp hubs laced to Araya ADX-510 rims (one gold nipple on each wheel. heh.), C-Record cranks, Gold Campaganolo BMX chainring, Gold EAI superstar cog. Thomson post, Brooks Swift TI, Cinelli stem and bars, Phil BB, Ofmega headset.
Miles CX bike, made by my friend Joshua Thayer here in San Francisco's Hunters Point (aka GHETTOS!). Fillet as well, a mix of columbus tubing. Chris King Cross hubs to Ceramic Open Pros. 11-32 xt cassette, 42t Specialiities TA ring on Campagnolo Chorus compact cranks. Record 9 speed shifters running via a jtek shiftmate to an XTR mid cage derailleur. Paul Neo retro brakes in front, touring cantis in the rear. Paul interupter levers and moon units. Crank Bros Cobalt SL headset, Thomson post, TI Rolls saddle, Deda Shallow bars and Newton stem. The bike that gets ridden the most. I'll paint it in the spring.
My most recent aquisition. I dont consider this one done yet. 1970 Jack Taylor sport touring bike. Nuovo record, cinelli, schmidt generator, honjos. whee.
the oddball of the group. Carlton Flyer from 1945, with sturmey archer asc 3 speed fixed gear hub. Mafac racer centerpulls, nervar cranks. Titan stem and bars, french city bike levers, campy seatpost and a wright saddle i got for cheap.
bikes ive had in the past but no longer are in my possesion (or have built for other people). single tear
my old 3 rensho (frame was too small, sent to the ebay gods)
another configuration of the same bike
rossin (i hated this thing, but everyone else liked it)
carlton touring
frejus track (i was given a blank check by the founder of the furniture company design within reach to build anything i wanted. this is what i built, full vintage record with wooden rims)
and finally heres me, crusing around during the mission path race a couple weeks ago.
