Hey just started the resto of my second bike a Britsh built SRE.
Interested to know if anyone has any knowledge of these, they were hand built in the early 80's in Poole in Dorset By a guy named Sanders, hence Sanders Racing Equipment, SRE.
They had a factory team which raced at Iford, Poole and around the south coast.
The main racer was Steve Sanders, the builders son, he was super fast (about 2/3 years older than me as I remember). I'm sure Steve knocked about with Tim March and other Bounemouth riders.
Mine is one of the bigger frames I think it was made only for the team? It was chrome when I got it but gonna make it Red again (the factory colour).
Hoping to have this built up by MK.
More pics as it goes on- Soot.

MartyC:
Looks very different, would be good to see what it looked like bitd  :daumenhoch:

What are the quality of the welds like, difficult to see in the pic?

harris:
tri-angle frame interesting

sooty:
Good welds fella, these were very well made frames, all chrome moly.
This one is only rusty because I've left it after its de-chrome acid bath.
Gonna wet and dry it and get some powder on it.
Already had the decals repro'd so it is gonna look like it did BITD. Soot.

stidds:
I remember SRE frames, also remember Steve Sanders he was a big old unit even back then.

I nearly bought a very similar frame to that last year, wish I did now.  I absolutely loved those frames bitd.
