the craftsmanship is 1st rate,i love british frames.
id love some info on brian curtis.

although the decals on curtis frames are quite simple id like some scans if someone has any.

i bought mine from brian in 1985 freestyler and still have it,so when i wanted to re powder coat it i rang them up and brian still works part time welding so when he was next in i rang him and he sent me a set for free.

Have a look on their website,still a pukka company today :) I was after that but let it go as no forks and they'll be an absolute bugger to find,but cheap price for such quality! :daumenhoch:
btw...so far I have 2 Curtis Pro's,1 curtis Expert,1 Curtis Freestyler and a Curtis mini :smitten:

I too saw that frame and thought about the forks, but also you had bid already - nice to let another member score for a decent price now and then :daumenhoch:

why not ask the curtis shop to make you a set of forks?
