Glad he's put more pics on.
That colour scheme was a beaut in it's day. Painted by for us by Bob Dawson in Liverpool, Bob was a genius! I can find all geometry from original spec sheet for it, if anyone plans to ride it. -

yep - aero hair.
Back in the good old days hardly anyone wore helmets - the bouffant hairstyles were enough protection.
Hairnets were invented to make sure that the hair didn't go into the rider's eyes which could have led to some nasty crashes (especially when doing a head down Time trial). -

I love this guy!
Q: DON'T SELL IT!
A: No one will buy it at that price surely? Do you think I should bump it up to £2000 just to be sure?

I should, trouble is I can get plenty of 'special' bikes but I would just blow loads of cash. We do keep a few like Nicloles Cooke's bike and a few others, we've got Mario Cipolini's bike in the shop too, perhaps I should ebay that!

Bit weird spoke to Ian for the first time in 20+ years?? Asked about his BBAR bike and he had just put it on Ebay 5 minutes earlier!
