My Trevor Jarvis Flying Gate

I bought the bike as a 27" wheeled fixed wheel bike and had it reverse engineered by Trevor to restore the gearing and had the cantilever bosses moved to accommodate 700c wheels.

My Dave Yates' Randonneur.

I bought the unused frame off Ebay for £240 and used mainly new components to complete it. I had the wheels handbuilt by Woodrup Cycles.

Love the slightly pre-crashed look!

Love the slightly pre-crashed look!

The weird geometry gives the bike and shorter wheelbase and a stiffer rear end. It is claimed that there's less energy absorption by the frame because there's less flex at the bottom bracket and in the rear triangle. My experiences on hilly rides seems to bear this out.

Built by me. I even did the re-spray.

Built this up in the summer. Frame and forks were bought brand new but the finish was dreadful.
An hour with wet and dry & and a can of spray, Made it much more respectable.

All the best.
