Pennine Richmond - 1961
Owned by: Derek Browne
This bike would have been used for time trialling, grass track racing, club runs, & Youth Hostelling. The frame was restored by Chris Marshall. The cranks, in original condition, were given to me by a local cycle shop.The 47 tooth ring in unused condition and the pedals were given to me by a clubmate. I haven't ridden the bike yet, due to the fact that I live in the middle of the Pennines, however I intend to transport the bike to the Vale of York and re-aclimatise myself with fixed gear.
