Hi everyone,
I’ve just sorted out pair of gorgeous 1960s road bikes. Shipping on bikes within the UK will be £18 - other items can ship free of charge in the same box. I can ship anywhere in the world at a reasonable cost.
ALL ITEMS ARE IN BRISTOL
Payment can be via bank transfer (preferred), cheque or the dreaded Paypal which costs me 3%…
** If you dib an item, please PM me and pay the same day unless you make other arrangements with me. Otherwise it may well be sold to the next person who wants it...**
Viewing/Personal collection is welcome as quite a few have found and have been able to get other parts they are looking for at the same time.

RORY O’BRIEN BIKE Early 1960s probably by Les Ephgrave
Seat Tube (ctt): 59cm (23.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 59cm (23.5in)
Wheel size: 27 x 1 1/4in
This is a truly gorgeous road bike from the early 1960s. The frame is almost certainly from Les Ephgrave’s workshop - it has lots of delightful touches - the seatstay bridge, seatstay tops and wonderfully cut and filed fork crown. The lugs are Nervex Pro heavily modified and reduced … in a truly wonderful manner. All the lugs are cleanly filed with beautifully precise edges. It has a Campag Gran Sport rear gear, Stronglight 49D chainset, AVA stem, GB map of Britain bars, Universal 61 centre-pull brakes, Campag Record hubs on 27 x 1 1/4in rims (which I do not recognise but which I am certain are original). About the only non-original part is the Turbo saddle... £475
