Latest R.E.W Reynolds find

[biggs682]

I got contacted over the weekend on faceache if I knew anyone that might be interested in a bike that had just been unearthed in a shed .

So once I saw a picture I said yes please and have just collected it .

It's an R.E.W Reynolds that looks to have been made by Woodrup but just waiting for confirmation on that .


Looks like original condition with a nice seat cluster full 531 tubing , sloping fork crown .

10 speed gearing 27" wheels and large flange hubs what's not to like ?

New tyres , a couple of cable clips , and a clean should see it .

This is a Sayles built frame @DCLane

Thanks, still learning. I'll contact Woodrup once the bike's cleaned up some more and see if they have any records.

@biggs682 - Woodrup's have replied and the frameset was built by Stephen Woodrup in late 1999. So newer than I originally thought.

That's good then.
That also means that each of the frame builders there stamp the 4 digit number in a different location on the bottom bracket shell.

Dragged this one out yesterday and gave it quick once over so I could use it today and it still rides well .

Had another outing on this fine machine this morning just a shame it wasn't a ride where man and machine were in perfect harmony I struggled today with the fear shifts yet yesterday it was in harmony.
