Mick Burrows R.I.P

[screenman]

Just read that he passed away, sad. A brilliant innovator and a very fast cyclist in his day.

Mick broke Comp. Record at 25 miles in 1955 on the fabled Southend Road (E3) course with 54:04 only to see it bettered 20 minutes later by Paul Bennett who ironically also passed away not too many weeks ago.

Perhaps the most influential frame designer of the last 30 odd years, RIP

Where is this news coming from sorry? Is there a source?

Are we talking about the frame designer (who would have been 12 when the 25 mile record was broken in 1955?)?
