Knowing me, knowing you. Aha

Oh brill, I'll head down this saturday and sort it out!

@Rikki My eyes, my eyes..

In fairness to @Rikki the jersey wasn't his, and I now own that cap...

As an employee I had to wear it!

Gah, pictures didn't work. :/

I think theres a few new bikes around now? I know @Rikki got another bike? Who else got some new gear? I need to take some good pics of my roadie!

Wintery beater?

Got yourself some raceblades then

Looking good! I'll try and get some shots of mine today/tomorrow

Oh yeah, forgot to let you know! They fit pretty well, got them price matched at evans for £27.sommat.

Terrible picture but I'm going to be building this up in the next few months.

Nice, what are you doing to it?

Those forks look lush!

Is this your sofa?

If it is, I'm sure it's nice and spongey..

If it is, that's a frame and dessert fork!

I'm building it up to be geared, long distance single speed is fine and all, but I thought I might treat myself to the luxury of gears!
I'd like it to be period correct but until I can afford to do it and find out who the frame builder was it'll be a little bit cobbled together.

@hudsoncjnr
Unfortunately it's not my actual sofa just a Mexican blanket.

Sounds good! who the Framebuilder is was going to be my next question, tried the main forum?

It's a mystery frame like so many of my frames. I enjoy the research/am a glutton for punishment!
I may give the main forum a whirl but at the moment I'm just Googling and checking a few books.

Nice, I love a good mystery frame. Any plans for the paint?

I'm still deciding on colour at the moment but I'm hoping to get it sent off to be painted in the next couple of weeks.

Awesome

It looks like a Holdworth La Quelda or a Claud Butler. Late 40s early 50s.

I checked out the La Quelda, the frame is very similar but no double crown fork.
The old Claude Butler catalogues are on the to-do list.

Not a great picture, but this is the current guise of my orbeater. Would be cool to see your now probably updated bikes. I need to get a good snap of my road bike to put here too.
