TM's Bryan Warnett / Bumblebee

I'm so glad you were all busy, if this fits and rides well its a lifer.... (;

I think I've heard that one before... ;)

Clearances look real tight too I reckon, especially that front.

I think I've heard that one before... ;)

Me too (:

Hoping the clearances are toight loike a toiger... just concerned it may be roomy if they managed to install a brake.

At least the rear will be tight ;)

not a euph

well maybe a bit...

531 Super Tourist eh?

Should make for a suitable fixed tourer.

Well, I'm praying to god of sweet fixehs it comes out balanced at least....

rad frame, if youre swapping orlowski parts out does that mean youre selling it?

?

lovely frame though and went for a really nice price at the end. Looking forward to seeing this built

Just generally looks great, and interested to see how the 531 ST rides.

My Pearson road bike is 531st. It's no lightweight but you notice the added stiffness around the BB. There's no flip flopping when out of the saddle.

I'm sure the builder has a lot to do with the feel of the frame, but this should make a nice rider.

?

then building the Sirius with the parts from the Orlowski

Is what i was referring to

yeah i was askin TM if he was again

Someone local wants it, meant to come tonight but now coming Monday...

Still not sure I want to sell it, should probably wait to see if this is too big before selling the Orlobropro...

Should make for a suitable fixed tourer.

Heh, the whole point of the ST is that it'll prevent the bike from feeling noodly while under heavy laden.

in other word, as stiff as a tourer without the panniers + rack.

I know ed, I was teasing.

I know, I was being patronising.

you failed

Yay!

I want steel

I have a Bryan Warnett a lot earlier than that one I think as it has wrap round and 'BW' embossed seatstays, the forks and built in 531c tubing, 56-s/t and 53 t/t in a nice red mid 60's guessing

Saw it on the bay, immediately regretted being such a shortarse. Really looking forward to this, I'm sure you'll make the frame justice.

how many bikes you onto now?

leaving the frame as it is, just putting layers of polish on to seal the scrapes and paint, it has a no-name front wheel which I intend to replace with a period Campag at some point ideally a rim with a braking surface. All the bearings need new grease it is as dead as a dodo but the main quest is a front brake that suits it. I have to wait for a bit till I have enough room in the workshop.

A quick shot of the bike

There is a big yellow Welsh frame shaped box waiting for me at home.

I've got an hour or 2 to myself tonight as well, will try and do a TM standard turbo build...

I'm looking forward to seeing this!

Hoping these won't be necessary...
