Hi everyone,
I’ve just sorted out pair of gorgeous 1960s road bikes. Shipping on bikes within the UK will be £18 - other items can ship free of charge in the same box. I can ship anywhere in the world at a reasonable cost.

ALL ITEMS ARE IN BRISTOL

Payment can be via bank transfer (preferred), cheque or the dreaded Paypal which costs me 3%…

** If you dib an item, please PM me and pay the same day unless you make other arrangements with me. Otherwise it may well be sold to the next person who wants it...**

Viewing/Personal collection is welcome as quite a few have found and have been able to get other parts they are looking for at the same time.

Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)

This is a lovely 1966 Gillott road bike built by Ron Cooper with Nervex Pro lugs and Reynolds 531 double butted tubing. Its equipped with a Campag Record gearset, Stronglight 49D chainset, Weinmann centre-pull brakes, Campag GS hubs on Alesa rims together with a more modern Brooks B17 Standard saddle. £445

RORY O’BRIEN BIKE Early 1960s probably by Les Ephgrave
Seat Tube (ctt): 59cm (23.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 59cm (23.5in)
Wheel size: 27 x 1 1/4in
This is a truly gorgeous road bike from the early 1960s. The frame is almost certainly from Les Ephgrave’s workshop - it has lots of delightful touches - the seatstay bridge, seatstay tops and wonderfully cut and filed fork crown. The lugs are Nervex Pro heavily modified and reduced … in a truly wonderful manner. All the lugs are cleanly filed with beautifully precise edges. It has a Campag Gran Sport rear gear, Stronglight 49D chainset, AVA stem, GB map of Britain bars, Universal 61 centre-pull brakes, Campag Record hubs on 27 x 1 1/4in rims (which I do not recognise but which I am certain are original). About the only non-original part is the Turbo saddle... £475

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

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