Looks like you've been ripped off......for fucks sake there isn't even any paint on it!

Jason that thing looks teeny!

It does... strangely. We can't all be tall. I have settled for dark and handsome.

Yes, and yes.

Looks like you've been ripped off......for fucks sake there isn't even any paint on it!

Ah, but there will be paint and parts on it in about 3 weeks!

What exciting colour did you go for in the end? Angry beige™?

Nope Boring Flamboyant Red™. Decided on matching bikes...

I was out this morning and saw a red Roberts, made me think of your new bike! Also a shockingly pink Serotta which made the Moser look positively tame

Hey,

Just picked this up today. I have no idea what it is. AFAIK the name/paint is not original. The bike has an incredible paint job. The original Columbus tubing sticker was masked for the repaint and it is so damn neat, you can barely tell. Also, all the lines on the frame and the decals are painted. Just beautiful....just such a pity the previous owner treated it so badly. Huge junks of paint missing all over....what an idiot!

Anyway, the serial number is stamped on both rear dropouts. It's got some interesting details, namely the two seatstays that run into a monostay and then also the extended seattube. The frame measures 51cm from the center of the bb to center of the tt and 58cm center to top.

Any clues on what it might be?

Thanks for any help!

super nice ^

Re Bob Jackson painting,
Its about 18 months since Bobs did their last job for me, so maybe the policy has changed, but i couldnt have the shade I wanted. The colours listed are available, but the one i wanted wasnt listed, they are very good for 'classic' type jobs, but not good on contemporary colours. I wanted a French green.
The job in the pic below cost me just under £200 including the stem, shown here.
The colours are called Azzuro and Ivory

Aaaahhhh! Think i saw you twice in York today? yes? i recognized the stem!

nice! unique (and heavy) seat tube lugs
they must think of someone that produces a great deal of power when they built it

Does turning the handlebars not pull the front brake?
