Here is my pride and joy... had the frame built for me in approx 1990 and then I finished it off with Dura Ace components throughout - The 8 speed SIS had just been released to the market, so this was the dog's danglies at the time.
17 years on, it still looks brill - fantastic to ride, weight is about 9kg's which is OK for a steel bike. Capable of hitting extreme speeds down hill in complete confidence (60 mph) due to the 73 degree geometry.
The frame was built by Frank Herety of Stockport (the father of John Herety - ex pro rider, ex GB team manager/now a pro bike team manager) and was custom painted by C&G finishes of Liverpool. It's a complete one off.
Now riding on some Mavic Aksiums for training purposes, although one of the shots has Hed Jet's with titanium hubs (race wheels only)....
