I used to go in to his shop on Anerley hill in the 80s. He was renowned for his wheel building skills.My ken bird that I have had as a winter project is finished and just been for my first ride. 1982 ken bird TT frame with shimano golden arrow group set and campagnolo record cronos rims on campagnolo record hubs. New turbo saddle and just need to get some straps for the toe clips.
