I loved putting this beast together. This was my attempt at building the ultimate very early 80's British Time Trial machine. Exactly the sort of thing I had pictures of on my bedroom wall as an 11 year old! Massively aero tubing, the wonderful but flawed PMP cranks, space age Kronos levers, Concor Profil, and the incredibly light Huret Jubilee rear mech...aaahh, memories!! Sold in 2007 to a Gentleman from London, who as far as I know still owns it.

This was my tribute to the British Time Trial scene at the other end of the decade, around 1989. A beautiful Aende frame, with the tightest clearances you're ever likely to encounter! Straight 2nd generation Campag C Record group. Sold in 2007 to a lovely lady from Dublin...
This was a bit of a personal folly...I built this just for the hell of it, throwing together all of my favourite bits and pieces, I thought it looked stunning...I didn't find a buyer for this chap as a whole bike, but it got a lot of attention and requests to split it. So I did, and the various components went all over the world. The frame went to a really nice guy from Sweden, who was so chuffed with it I'd be amazed if he's ever parted from it.

Simple, clean, uncluttered and extremely light! Classic British TT spec machine based around the fabulous 979 Duralinox. This was built to a late eighties general spec, with an emphasis on weight. My favourite part of this one were the wheels, which I'd had knocking around for ages waiting for the right build, and they were a bit special: Wolber Profil 18's on FT Titanium, 24/24. They also had a bit of history, having a 49 minute '25' and a UK years fastest '10' to their credit...and this before the advent of tri-bars! Since I sold it, it has been subsequently re-sold on ebay...not sure where it is now.
My first foray into the naughty nineties...I acquired a sensational frame, beautifully built with Cinelli cast lugs, and with an exceptionally solid and tight rear end...the indented seat tube helped! It built into a VERY purposeful and rapid machine, which was last seen in London.
