I'm pretty sure there are at least two more of these around but this will definitely be the first one to be restored. I can't wait to see this done, I loved my ACE Racing Pro and was so gutted when it got nicked .Are you going to try and build in a Cav Strutt stylee (like the one in the advert) or are you going with a different build?

Very cool Andy - with that gusset and the loopy end it looks a bit like a Jag - interesting frame mate

There's a pair of Cook's bar on US ebay at the moment but I say build it as you like, just hurry up with it Quote from: bobafett on November 05, 2010, 11:52 PMVery cool Andy - with that gusset and the loopy end it looks a bit like a Jag - interesting frame mate They were originally designed around the Cook Bros frame IIRC
if you look closely at the Cav Strutt picture you can see he had a Redline brute stem on his although as you say suntours were more common, in fact i had a Suntour on mine you are totaly correct when you say they were designed around the Cook bros frame
