Rebuilt yesterday in TT mode after returning from a new paint job:

Old school.. :thumbsup: Loved that shop when I was a kid, full of stuff I couldn't afford  :) I still have a SKS track pump that I bought in Rory's.. Happy days.

Another Rory O'Brien rebuild owner here - a '92 Capmag 8 speed equiped road bike. I bought it from clubmate 'Essex Brian' who has had it from new. He claims it was from a batch of frames that were actually built by Chas Roberts...

If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is...
