Having a look around for some SS bling and came across Rourke Cycles...some lovely looking framesets...the 853 SS looks a bargain.
Anyone know about them?
Cheers

yes, good shop up near Burslem/STOKE. They also build 953 framesets IIRC.

Great shop, lovely people. Brian took best part of half a day to measure me up for my 953, and it was worth every minute, bike feels so right. Mechanic rang me twice during the build to confirm minor details, then Brian spent another hour setting it up when I collected it, to make sure everything was spot on.

Rourke would be my choice if i was getting a frame built. a friend is having a deda sat14/eom16 mix road frame built by them. looking forward to having a spin on it.

Niiice...

Quite why someone would pay the same for an off-the-peg Rocky Mountain or something, is beyond me. Custom, every time.
