I know I going to regret this one!

Really nice Ken Bird road frame...

Close clearances and tight geometry Ken Bird frames were known for - they were the business in the day!

531, Prugnat lugs with window cutouts, fastback seat stays with allen key seatbolt and Campag short horizontal dropouts.

Full brazings with cable guides on top of bottom bracket.

I sold this frame a while a go and the fellow returned the frame with some damage to the bottom bracket threads on one side - which was a bit odd given I had built it up, but I did the honourable thing and gave him his money back...

Have not got around tidying up the threads - but a threadless one seems to work very well!

Tange headset only included but all the parts are available...

Best

Doug

KB was a wheel builder...his brother Alec was the frame builder..though AB did not do much building for his brother...other frame builders did......however KB had a habit of re-badging frames with his name...so it might not be a KB....as such....or even a AB....usually something good.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
