Yeah I got the frame with these decals on. Been told it's a pro custom? Seat post angle or something. My race bike bitd had this colour scheme but my pref is black n chrome :-)

My dad tells me that Brian took measurements from me to build my frame.

Brian did some made to measure frames, so guess this falls into that category  :daumenhoch:


I spoke to Brian on Thursday, he's doing fine and going to a 'Bristish Hand Made Bike Show' at the weekend, I'm taking a bike too  :daumenhoch:
