Meet Thomas

This is Thomas our new apprentice frame builder, proudly holding his first frame. A very keen cyclist who believe it or not broke his leg badly, falling off a bike, just after his interview, but he manages to hobble in every day on crutches and he's on the mend. Welcome to the team Thomas.

Tim,s Bike

Here for your use is a photo of my Mercian on the first shake-down ride. You sent me the frame and fork last October and I’ve been working on it as I find the time or get the parts in.

 

This is a kingfisher blue Audax 853 frame with gold lug lines and a satin finish. Drivetrain is SRAM (Campy cranks), brakes and pedals are Shimano, hubs and headset from Hope.  Other parts from Ritchey, Prolite. Zipp, Selle San Marco, Shwalbe and Mavic. I will need to add a set of mudguards very soon.

Tim

Thank you Tim for the photo

Hi

A lousy iPhone picture, but proof of road worthiness. Have to admit to being somewhat apprehensive - what if Reynolds 725 doesn't ride as nicely as my 30 yr old 531 Mercian? Shouldn't have been concerned. What an outstanding bike! Stiffer but still plenty of liveliness. A real looker too! I am very happy with my new bike

Best Regards, Jim
