Small world - one of my *other *brothers had his eye on that ebay listing. I remember distinctly because he asked me whether the frame number seemed genuine (which it obviously is!)
I posted my Ron in current projects a while back because I did it up last year as a 25th anniversary present to myself. This is what it looked like in the late '80s, in its glorious '80s two-tone spray job:
Here I am meeting Ron himself early last year - for the first time in over twenty years - when I took it in to Colour Tech for the respray. I'm glad I got to meet him again, lovely bloke.
And here it is now. It's got a SRAM Force groupset, and wheels hand built by Harry Rowland, somewhat apt as Harry used to work in Ron's shop in Honor Oak. (Plus original Cinelli bars and Dura Ace seat post.) It only comes out now when the sun shines!
