A single speed bike. That I have used for thundering around at speed. It's a TT frame with bullhorn bars. I fancy something more relaxed for longer journeys now.
A triple butted 6001 aluminium light weight unbranded frame 54 cm with quintana roos aero profile carbon forks.
With FSA headset.
Sealed bearing shimano BB
Suntour messenger crank at 42 teeth I think
Rigida dp18 10 speed wheels with sealed novae h hub with a velo solo conversion andel chain ring. These wheel are hand build and performed great over 2 years. Probably about 1000 miles on them.Campagnolo centaur red brakes with carbon crane creek lever on profile aero bullhorn
Ritchie aluminium wcs seat post and stem at 80mm.
Will try to answer an questions and I'm looking for £225.00 to fund another ride.
I don't want to spilt yet or stick on ebay. -

This is a rourke, people are making fake rourke. To confusing things further brian rourke do refurbish frames and add there own decals but I doubt they would do that to a wrap around frame because of the potential similarity and miss understanding. Or forgeries. Case closed. On a sad note my beloved was stolen 2 years ago in Covent Garden.

Feel free to contact brian rourke cycles they are a helpful bunch and I'm sure have a record or system for the frame numbers under the bottom bracket. Anyway my nutter in put here is the construction of the wrap around stay on brian rourke cycles are flattened seat stays and not connected seat stay ends. Look at the difference. The blue on is the rourke

It's quite hard watching steve 's video of him stopping. Clearly heart broken and up set. I followed him all the way. Kurt doing the attempt in flat tropical florida for the most part means it's not a level playing field. Even steves bicycle was a steel frame in the spirit of tommy Godwin.
Have a well deserved break and reflect if you ever decide to have another go I'll be sporting you. -

A lot of very poor and exploited illegal immigrants commute by bicycle around the out areas of west London doing odd jobs and building site labour.
Hopefully he is not too hurt, he will be petrified of the authorities, and unfortunately will not go to hospital and it's the reason why I suspect he fled the scene before the police arrived.
The drivers around hounslow can be incredibly inconsiderate to cyclists, nice to see he/she didn't flee the scene also. -
I bought a rourke a while ago off eBay, was a great buy and had lots of fun, and incredibly will built. It's was normal tube 853 and plenty stiff, oversized will be more so. Sadly eventually stolen.
I have heard 853 proteam is easily dentable, given the negligible weight saving and it's use, I would stick to standard 853, mines was dent free fairly well used. Perhaps even a stainless rear triangle for the occasion chip that's do happen given it will be covered in mud.

I know of it but never been inside the park. The airman junction is pretty hairy never feel quite safe round those parts. Socially feltham has improved immeasurably since the old Highfield towers came down.
