Retrobike Check: Isla Rowntree’s 1993 Race Bike

I’m loving these Malverns Retrobikes. Keep them coming!

 

Is it my imagination or has that got quite a modern seat tube angle?

Nice bike, I had a ride on a friends bike that Isla Rowntree built for her. It rode nicer than the Kona Hei Hei I had at the time.
Seriously nice bike.

Continental Cross Country tyres! I used to love those, did a race or two on them myself. 1.5 inch IIRC.

There are a pair of those tyres In the garage.
