  • Trying to confirm the identity of this frame. Advertised as Reynolds 753 and built by Tom Board in the mid 90's. Frame number 0118.

    So far it looks like a Columbus frame due to ribbing in forks the weight would suggest KL as the seat tube at the open end is 0.7mm. I also suspect this is late 80's due to the 130mm rear drop out spacing.

    The seat stays are a bit odd, they are not round, but triangular in section. While looking on line found an old add of a Bill Nickson frame that looked remarkably similar.

    Not all hanging together completely, but based on what Andy Palmer told me I am thinking KL built by Tom Board. Any thoughts?

  • I didn't know KL had a "ribbed" steerer: I thought that was just SLX.

  • Ok will have a look, I understand all Columbus steerers have this and only SLX and one other have in in the main tubes.
