1987 Ron Cooper. Custom made for me when I was 15. Original components: frame, seat post, handlebars. Modernised (and repainted) a couple of years ago. Strictly my sunny weather bike!

An old hat/cutting edge blend that seems to work way better than it should!
Well done0 -
I met Ron a few times when I was a kid, great frame builder.0

Great frame builder, lovely bloke. I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time in over 20 years when I went to Colour Tech to get the frame resprayed. RIP.

When my Dad had the rights to the Bates name Ron used to build all the frames for him, I used to have a few with the Cantiflex 531 and Diadrant forks.

I would have loved one of these back in the day!0 -
I still have my 1984 gazelle champion Mondale which won me many races as a junior in those days.
It cost a small fortune to build back then, campy throughout with cinelli and gp4's. Could not bear to be without it despite lots of shiny new kit.cycling is sustainable joy0 -
1953 Carlton international my dad bought new to get him to work when he was 15 and race a little too. He's now 75 and I use it sometimes in single speed form.0

It was early STI - when cranking along in the drops I rested my hands on the shifter so gear changes were immediate. Plus the size made them comfortable.

Half way though restoring my first bike, a 1993 Look MI80.
was planning on sourcing all the original parts, but have decided to put a STXrc group I have in the shed on it instead.0
