No those are the 2012 version. The ones that look like red 22 but are 10 speed. These are some older ones I've had lying around.
Red group will be going on the new BMC and the Scott will get rival/force or something. So not for sells :)

The seat post freed up and is now adjusted to where I need it. It's actually a nice ride as it is so it's staying. All the bearings have been cleaned and greased and new cables fitted throughout. I've ordered some 40mm tan wall tyres as the original Muddy Fox tyres were 26 x 155. The saddle is comfy but a bit knacked so does anyone know anyone who could re-cover it?

Good to hear, was with chatting with someone today about 26 MTB projects
Quite a wise business man, was talking how bike trends are , and adventure biking and he was saying oh radonneurs were 650 wheels, not far from 26 , an to start converting mtb' s with drop bar set ups, was thinking about that on my tommasini

random, but,
i'll tell you the kinda cat this fella is
he said around 2000, brooks was going to be canned, so he secured control
of the last shipment into NL (think container)
he recieved it, put it down around 2000, marked for release 2015
but it got burnt when his wharehouse went up

The sun was out so I took a better picture.

Does anyone know anything about Phil Corley frames. Can't spot anything online about them.

Phil Corley frames

Most likely just bike shop decals applied to a factory made frame.

what is your feeling about that?
the aforementioned brooks buyer said he has 150 columbus and isihiwata frames he wants to develop a 'brand' for

(Phil) Corley cycles, Milton Keynes.
They're on Facebook and everything.

Dibs one of these!

I've dropped them a message, so hopefully get something interesting back. Couldn't see anything on there about frames they either built or badged up.

Just wondering if anyone on here had seen or owned one before?

Funny that... exactly a thorn xtc or Sherpa setup: Drops and 26". See also early usa MTB setups.

what is your feeling about that?

It has been common practice since before the bicycle was invented, and an inevitable result of the division of labour. The first costermonger who become known for the quality of his apples regardless of which orchard had furnished them had established a retail brand.
