You have a Cleland? Fantastic! I love the Clelands, Highpaths and English Cycles derivatives.

It was English cycles first (unsuccessful) prototype attempt by what I can gather, frame number RR-001 for Range Rider, made in 1982.
Apparently the rear triangle had clearence issues meaning it layed in a corner for years before being rescued by the previous owner & having a new rear triangle grafted on & seat post mods that bear the hallmarks of the late David Wrath-Sharman.
So it's a bitsa, which is perfect really because I got it to ride & have done a lot over the past year with some mods.

Sorry KneesUp, off topic.
Back on topic, I forgot to say all the different sized S.A brackets are available for very little, I got the correct torque arm/front fork bracket for a few quid off eBay.
