• I really love this frame, and would much rather not have to sell it, but I'm afraid I can't really justify it to myself.

    1994 Brian Rourke Pursuit
    Top tube - 56cm c-c
    Seat tube - 59cm c-t
    Reynolds 731os race
    £sold

    This frame has raced in the GB pursuit team at Manchester over the winter of 94/95 and was custom ordered from Rourke in September 1994. It was raced for about a year in total, remaining in dry storage until now.

    The frame has track ends, with a rear derailleur hanger, so can be used fixed or geared. 700c front and back. 27.2 seatpost. There is a very small ding on the top tube, which I think I have taken pictures of. No HS/BB unless you really twist my arm.

    1995 Basso Gap
    Top tube - 56 c-c
    Seat tube - 57cm c-c, 58 c-t
    Basso Superlight tubing

    From what I can gather Basso Superlight tubing is very similar to 90s Columbus SLX, I am told Columbus had stopped producing tubing so Basso just used old stock.

    This frame has been been dry stored for a very long time, but some of the paint on the fork crown has chipped away, and there is a bit of surface rust there, as well as some on the right chain stay, on the brake bridge, and on the front mech braze on. Apart from those chips, the rest of the paint is in pretty good nick, very few actual scratches and no dings. Basso dropouts. Tight clearances. 27.2 seatpost, Italian BB.

    Buckled Campagnolo Vento front wheel, I'll take offers for this. The hub is still beautiful and running smoothly. The rim is buckled, there is a large ding on one side. Good for hub and spoke spares, also probably possible to bend the rim back with some effort.
