I had a bit of a Stedlocks moment myself last night...
I went to pick up a pair of wheels for the Roberts TT bike above and was welcomed into the sellers garden strewn with 90's MTB's. I checked the wheels and admired the little rubber skewer grips making a comment about the Milremo brand being an attempt by a chap called Ron to sound sexy and European. He apologised that road bikes weren't his thing and explained that the wheels came on a cheap road bike from which he'd sold the bits he'd identified as valuable.
He then said I'd be saving him a trip to the tip if I took the remaining bits off his hands, namely a frame (which I believe to be a Percy Stallard Special Zakopane due to Stallard Dropouts and SZ-serial# prefix), an SR fluted seatpost, Baliss-Wiley BB, TDC Headset, and a rather elegant Fiamme bar and stem combo.
The frame is way to small for me and poorly refinished in a girly pink colour, but my eldest daughter has bagsied it! Forks aren't original but are a rather fetching pair of Cinelli-esque chrome jobs! - Photos to follow
