Did anyone on here snag this? Here's the description, with some pics below.
Old School Steve Wilson hand built One off fully brazed 501 reynolds tubing race used frame
This frame was custom built for chris taylor by steve wilson when he raced for the bh factory team circa 1983
Please see the 3rd from last photo where the reynolds stamp is visible in the tube
Chris went on to race for the wilson halfords factory team and he took this frame with him
Please see the last 2 photos of chris in the red white and black halfords kit on this frame getting some serious air!!
I have had confirmation from both steve wilson and chris taylor and can send screen shots of the correspondence between me and both steve and chris confirming that this is a complete one off frame built specifically for chris by steve Its has a pro type geometry and American bb whilst having a short top tube to suit chris taylor's size at the time
Overall the chrome is in fantastic condition as is the frame althought it has unfortunately had a repair to the seat tube.... This however would not affect the build and does not really detract from it due to the history of this frame
This is a true one off race used frame and you will not find another.
