Just finished this for my Son's girlfriend to go with the one I did for his Birthday. They have not seen them or know about them yet. They will tonight, hope they like them.

She is to go with Him

Young love for young love

Fantastic job you did too !

Damn it's cold this morning, just frozen my fingers off. Just taken this for a 3 mile spin and an absolute pleasure to ride. Dated to 1976 a nice early Dawes Galaxy.

Heres my Frank Herety bike, I found this frame put out with the bins for collection!!!! Ok so it had had a chisel through the seat tube (frozen seatpost)...and a broken dropout so it cost me a few bob to get it nice again but this one was definitely worth saving eh?

Has SR stem, bars and seatpost, mavic MA2 rims and all the rest is Shimano 105 which is damn good quality stuff for the money IMO

Stunning bike! And unusual. Well done on this "rescue" and refurb. Looks like it'd be a joy to ride.

Cleaned up my 631-based Quest and thought I'd try it with the other bike's wheels for a change. Think they'll get swapped back fairly soon...

Columbus SL ?

Very nice. I have a Herety SLX with full Dura Ace. Had it built for me.

Certainly worth the repair.

Love that paintjob.

Yeah it's Columbus SL Fossyant, My bike was a Bob Jackson when I found this so I just got it fixed up and transfered all the bits and pieces over. Ive probably had it around 15 years now, cant remember exactly how long but some time soon after 1998 anyway, It was blue with chrome front and back ends originally, got some nice lugs and other features...Herety was indeed a craftsman second to no-one,
Now I just gave it a bit of a refresh I need to get myself back into it I'm way out of shape and been invited on a cycling break to Spain in May

I love all the bikes here - but am I the only one riding a ropey-looking steel bike?
