Curtis Expert/Pro?

Dan73:
What a site!

Recently stopped pining for the old days and decided to get on and find a chrome curis like the one my dad bought me in 1984.

That was a pro, and I've only been able to find myself an expert.

At the risk of starting off by making you lot think I'm a pillock, can someone just confirm the difference for me? I used to know, but I have consumed many things that have damaged me since then.

Never stopped riding though, drifted into the road and mtb. Never realised the OS scene was so big and you fella's still race!

Bet no one remebers the Birchwood Bears and the track in Lincoln?

Help appreciated.

Dan

QUADROPHENIA:


do you like a curtis then nick ?

Dan73:
Bloody Hell Nick! I think I've found me an expert.

Fantastic collection you have there, and great to see the man himself. I know they were still building bikes from keeping up with the mtb scene.

So it looks like the expert is a slightly shorter frame, but obviously both T45 and the quality looks identical.

I'm going to get the expert re-chromed anyway, and build it up, and I'll keep my eye out for a pro. Be pleased to hear if anyone has one on offer?

Can you advise on decals? I've got a black set but ideally would like blue.

Thanks a lot mate, and I shall be retiring shortly to spend some 'me time' with that picture of the pro in blue!

Cheers

Dan

Gashead:
The frame is shorter, you can mainly tell by the shortness of the seat post (bb to top tube)

I have blue decals mate - just send me a pm  :daumenhoch:
