This has the wrap over seat stays so looks like a Rourke?
Built with a mixture of lower end components but a decent 653 frame.

Damn! Was gonna pull the trigger on this baby last night but dozed off on the settee; gone by this morning
I'm literally driving past stonehouse tomorrow morning on my way to Bristol so I wouldn't even have had to make a special trip!

I paid £45 for a Raleigh Royal frame last year and though that was a bargain, but £25 for a Record is a steal - if I'd been anywhere near the place I'd have gone for it.

Only on the tablet with poor screen but does not look like a Rourke seat cluster?

They do look to wrap over although the photo with the water spots on the frame isn't clear. I'm not 100% sure.

well apart from Herefordshire being in the opposite direction to Bristol from here, it looks tidy but how does Reynolds 708 ride? I know it had a sort of rifling but can't find much else on it.
The gazelle is way too far

I think i had a Pug that was 708 once and if it is the one i remember it rode well

Still think its worth going a little bit out of your way

even if you dont like it buy it , some people like them

I'll defo be buying it, it's not worth going out there otherwise! It's only 30 odd miles away but google says an hour - average speed door to door seem to've dropped to 30mph in recent years, even a wobbly dodderer like me can manage 12-14 on the bike!
So we're gonna make an afternoon of it, my partner is going mad with not being able to do anything after breaking both wrists last week falling off a unicycle
