I like Kuwahara's and who said you could use a picture of my old Brian Curtis Expert eh

What do you mean? your old Brian Curtis!

[toys19]

Small one, top of bb to half the dia of the top tube approx 6 inches, top tube length from od of head tube to od of seat tube, 16 inches. HAs got orginal expert stickers and is exactly the same size as my old expert bought from curtis BITD.
Bigger one - 7 & 7/8th inches and 16 &1/2 respectivly. I bought this from the orginal owner who bought it from curtis BITD and it has expert stickers and he swears it was an expert.

Oh and the foto makes the bb height look differnt but its exactly same, 11 ish inchs (with small diffs due to tyres)

to many chef and not anoth indian ha nick

[Gashead]

I'll go and have a measure

[toys19]

If you look in the museum there are experts and pro's of all kinds of sizes...

[SOUTHBANK BOY]

dont go buy that half the people dont no what they have got, same are wrong

[toys19]

Yeah maybe, how do you know the difference anyway..

Gas head you done any measuring yet?

[Gashead]

I have not got the expert here so can't measure it !

The Pro however measure's 7.5" seat tube and 19" top tube !

Remember these frames were hand built - so some frames were custom made for some people ! It maybe the larger of the two was just made a tad higher for the owner !


The other piont to take in was Curtis got ripped off towards the mid eighties and frames were 'mass produced', so frames may vary  - he then set up Brian Curtis




This latest Curtis Pro only ever had the stickers applied to it ! It was sat in a shed for years gathering dust  

[toys19]

Cool i think its the top tube length, my top tubes are 16 and 16.5 -  reckon they are both experts.!
Thanks gashead, interesting times.

Looks good Nick, although I don't think you need the forks for this build so let me have them for mine 

I have a Curtis Pro and the TT is 19".
