Hi to you all out there. Having shown you my totally refurbished Benotto Modelo 850 on the 27th September 2016 I can now reveal my other steed - my recently finished and equally refurbished Steve Goff frame which like my Benotto is also of Columbus tubing albeit of three different grades - hence the Designer Select on the front end of the top-tube.

The frame was totally stripped and re-stove enameled in a very nice Flamboyant Blue and fitted with new Chromed forks.

My now defunct Surly Cross Check. I never really liked it, couldn't get on with the handling and the colour was awful - sold the F&F off cheap to a guy who now runs it as a single speed.

I know what you mean about the colour, I have one and want to change it, but don't know if it's worth a new powder coat.

Pure class.

I have to agree, a took up between one of these and a Mercian, they had a Mercian frame my size, so that won

Im back on the Faggin, its the mutts nuts as far as l am concerned. And now l have to confess to more steeds some of them need feeding unfortunately.
My old Toyota pickup is the best vehicle lv'e ever owned and the quad comes second . Don't ask what l feel about horses as a means of transport .
And of course everyone should have a shed and mine has its own grapevine growing on it

 

[woodbutcher]

Oops, forgot the shed

And the bike will bring me many happy miles.

Here is my Henry Burton, reynolds tubing circa 1982/3. Handbuilt to a specific size and
butted and hand filed. Shimano bio-pace chain set 53/40, seven speed cassette .
Lovely smooth bike.
Pictured with Shimano wheels and the original ones made by Henry Burton after I had them rebuilt.
New bar tape and seat.
Just climbed up Warnell to Calbeck on it (2nd pic)

hard but rewarding work.
