nice pics, and can see a photo of my Pro there too.

Yep, Brian has a picture board of all our bikes !

That in itself is proof of his passion.

Hopefully Phil will post his pics later, or his daughter will.......he struggles with modern technology lol

he is such a nice guy and just loves building bikes,and this quote sums it all up

What a cool day out, Phil's a lucky lad.

Love all the technical side of the scene.

Did Mr. Curtis build/braise all the frames BITD or were there a team of builders??

Great thread! Loving this!

Gashead · « **Reply #39 on:** January 26, 2014, 08:19 PM »

He did it all himself, hence he turned Mr Spielberg down to make the ET bikes.

He did have a couple of helpers but preferred to do it all himself.

What a great day out that was

Phil I bet you were dying to get stuck in making a frame set up for yourself there and then

Proper little workshop

One that has produced so many items of dreams and good times.

That has got to be so very gratifying for Brian

These are pictures Brian gave to me some years ago............it's all he had left apart from a few sterling tubes, rear drop outs and fork ends......

pickle · « **Reply #42 on:** January 26, 2014, 08:29 PM »

Loving those bars as well

Bfellows · « **Reply #46 on:** January 26, 2014, 09:08 PM »
