Thanks, I think it's Vic, one of the trixie chix.

Well, I'd kinda agree that you puppy killed it, I would have stuck with the blue and yellow but I do love my blue and yellow...

But as the decals are white with black edges I think it would look quite nice decaled up. Looks like yours were starting to come off too before the respray? Unfortunately Orrell decals don't seem to last that well.

Like the fact your bars are period for the frame too.

This came up on eBay while I was away, glad it wasn't my size!

Im glad you posted this up Fox as there's been a few updates since this was taken.
Got it stripped, puppy-killed and then resprayed by the local auto painter. It's come out mint and significantly better than a powdercoat, although somewhat more expensive as well.

Still got to swap the cranks out and have the rear wheel built but have the old flip flop on there for the time being. For the eagle eyed, no im not running it brakeless SS. I've only got a 3/32 chain so couldn't place on the track cog.

For those who are wondering, the bars in the top 2 pictures are cut down 3TTT bio quartettos. They're late 80's model pursuit bars. Previously owned by Jos and Eyebrows I believe.

Crane - Yes all Neil Orrell's start with NA xxxx. If you are getting decals, let me know how they come out. I obviously need to get my gritty hands on some as well.

Fox - Your Bluebird is gorgeous. Well done on the build. There's not many Neil's around from what I've seen. Apart from yours and Crane's there's a maroon triple triangle track that belongs to one of the lovely ladies here but can't remember her name.
