£149 in Halfords?

+ 7.99 for a tin of Hammerite to make it look ok.

Not generally a fan of lugged frames, but that's rather special.

Beautifully constructed, the shifter lugs are perfection...no evidence of braze...which is especially difficult to achieve.

What's even better; the fact that the chavs wouldn't have a clue as to its pedigree 😉

Although I have to agree with carlosg, it's just too 'Quality Street' for me.

Epic bike knowledge FAIL! Ernesto, who will be grateful of the On-One comparison, will probably be sending the horses head right now.....

Lovely frame though not my favourite colour

I had the same frame but slightly newer, with a slightly more garish 70s fairground waltzer paintjob. Gave it to my dad when I moved, he still uses it...
