Finally landed it on Friday, I'll get better before & after pics up sometime. Here it is after a bit of a de-rusting session, ignore the crank, just wanted to get a rough idea with a few parts offered up......... and yes, Phil knows I got it & has first refusal!!!  :Great_Britain:

Inside left fork dropout 25 021

Sorry if this is starting to bore you lot, I hope not.  :-\    Owen Pattinson messaged me again last night with a bit more info & some pics, a top bloke!!!  :daumenhoch:  The story goes for those not familiar, originally named O.P. Cycles, trading name from 1980-86, O.P Racing team was formed. Brian Curtis built them approx. 25 bikes.  These were stickered up the same style as the 'Team Bus', layered white over red. The frameset I have was Owens 2nd frame, he had no use for it so stickered it up 'Owens Cycles' (still trading today) in about 1998 & it sold to a now Parcel Force driver who collects where I work. The rest is history....................   :daumenhoch:  I've messaged him for parts used BITD if he can remember......... Enjoy!
