The only Owens i know from back in the day were in Petersfield nr Portsmouth. The shop is still there today.

Me and Phil sawzall went down last year for a visit, they still had all their 80's trophies there and an old bike out back with Reynolds stickers on the forks. I can't remember what the frame was.

They had there own race team aswell but whether they made their own bikes i don't know. Phil will know more.
 


If they did make their own bikes then give Phil a PM Andy because it would be  :Great_Britain: and it deserves to be added to his collection of  :Great_Britain: framesets.
