Looking good,   I have never seen a stem pad where the foam padding is not an integral part of the pad ?

Anyone know how many differnt  birmingham wheels frames were made, I think i have seen a mini before,   is that an expert or pro size ?

Something different and looking very nice. Lose the snake seatpost though!
I may be interested in the Pro Class wheelset if you are selling

Greg,

What did you do for the brake? If I remember correctly (if this is the frame that had the black skyways on it) the brake bridge looked to be a mile from the wheel??

Looks good anyway.

Regards

paul
