I have four... 1985,1987,1995 and 2016 and the wrap over is the same on them all. Your buyer may have been certain but I am certain he is mistaken. That wrap over is not right
Sorry for clogging up the thread -I only came across it today and I have a soft spot for BR steel frames. The last one today I promise. This is my new 953 in a retro colour scheme. Went for a Chorus carbon 11 speed on this.
Picked this one up from a nice guy on eBay. This is from 1987 with full C-Record including pedals, seatpost and 2nd gen Deltas. Just changed the saddle and tyres and it was ready to go
I spoke to them yesterday over Frame number 555 - it was 77/78. That would make 500 a 1977 frame. They started C1973 and I understand were building 2 a week
