no forks

gutted. I wish I could build it but it needs some nice parts that I just don't have the fundage for

Jay, it's a Curtis Expert mate at 18.5" tt. Had an advert for one for a while but just got something else or I'd be after this big time

Nice find bud

Yeah, definitely an expert. I had the pro which I bought from Bunny`s in 84. God I loved that bike. The best £275 I ever spent on a new bike. I still think their handlebars are the best.
