They were meant to be the opposite, the twin top tube did make them pretty stiff though. Favoured bt racers of the 50s

That looks like something the stately homos of England would ride.

At first glance I thought it was a flying gate, but it's quite a nice frame - is it Condor turning them out?

And for extra wierdness;
A stayer bike for behind a motorbike (not a derny per se but the triumph's they used at the herne hill good friday meet)

Yep Condor, God knows how much. I can just see myself hammering through the fields of France on one.

Blimey Charlie!!! Were those things really made in comercial quantities or just as concepts?

Decent racing frames in the UK at that time would be handbuilt anyway so they made production just not in great numbers, hence the big prices now. There was always the theory given that the disticntive frame shapes could be used as a form of advertising in a time when makers names were removed from Cycling weekly in the dark old days of tt'ing

Kilo, how about this for kismet?
Saturday whilst I was working, I struck up a long conversation with the customer. Anyway as I was leaving he wished me a good weekend and asked if I was doing anything special. 'Just having a good long cycle ride'.
Oh he said, 'my dad was a professional cyclist' right I though, So I asked who he rode for, straight away he said 'hercules' he was for real. Turns out his dad was Denis Talbot. And before he turned pro he worked with Harry Rench? filling in the solder on Galibier frames.
And it was only today I found out what they were, and I didn't search because of the fact about Talbot. I will one day want something like this, perhaps a curly replica for modern kit.Posted 4 months ago # -

Phoned up for the price today. 1k start for road and painted. Considering the fact it is hand built and the spec that ain't bad.

looks ugly and is hugely inefficient! not my cup of tea and a real waste of a Campag pista chainset
Posted 4 months ago # -
rarely moved to comment on other people's idea of an 'ace bike' but that is an horrendous shed of the first order and belongs in the canal.
IMO

£1k is a lot less than I thought. Lot of philistines about nowadays
looks ugly and is hugely inefficient
