    I like the Roy O'brien .Have you any idea when it was built.?The lug work is similar to my old Rotrax Super Course.

    Thanks, the O brien was bulit in 1960 by Ephgrave apparently. The lugwork is the quality that you would expect from this builder. I am undecided wht to do with this one, but lookinjg to build into a fixed and give it a spin first.

    I've just acquired a 1946 Bates Vegrandis, in need of total restoration.
    Surely one of the only bikes easily recognisable from a distance without paint!

    A wonderful bike Horace was 70 years ahead of his time. Rory O'Brian were built just up the road from me in Romford. Some nice stuff there Aidy.

    Afraid not Aidy my mate pryed it from my fingers, its being set up with an ASC and loads of nice bits. It was only a 23" so looks to small for you.
