Perks

Not sure how old this one is, but it's steel so old enough to be in this section . The gent i got it from thought it was only 8 - 10 years old and it would not surprise me if that was true .


Built by John Perks for an ex cyclist , full 531c frame with some chrome here and there, full campagnolo veloce with Daytona sti's .

That's a lovely looking bike, although I'm sure it actually says "Porks".

That does look rather lovely, though I'm not sure about the saddle (may just be camera angle). Aheadset says it's at least fairly recent, I guess

Looks threaded with an adaptor.

Thought this going to be a thread about the Archers but was pleasantly surprised, that's a beaut Martin.

camera angle i am afraid

Been in touch with John Perks and he reckons it was built 10+ years ago and is going to try and dig out his records for me to check

Thats just the font used. There is a slight gap in the "O", making it an "e".

Well I commuted yesterday on this one , and have just got back from a pre work 15 mile jaunt .

Slowly getting used to Sti controls again and having brakes that actually stop you rather than just slow you down .
