Patterson long rides again!!!!!

[markyp]

So as most of you would have seen I had put my Patterson long up for sale but after selling 90% of the parts from it and still no offers on the frameset I decided to keep it and to be honest im glad I did,its such a rare and beautiful bike,it would have been impossible to replace.My Robinson unfortunatley was the last minute replacement for the chop so the Patterson was rebuilt using the parts from the Robinson except for the robinson bars and seatpost which someday down the line will be used on another Robinson build.anyway here she is,the first incarnation of this bike was an amazing show bike,perfection,this version to me looks proper mean,a real old school race bike,anyway here she is

hank & frank were and still are a bicycle shop in Oakland California which is where Patterson were out of too,im guesing they were a big distributor of the pattersons hence all the Patterson team displaying the h&f logo. either that or hank was bumming frank who knows
