Rebuilt Club Tour
« on: January 11, 2026, 03:51:33 PM »
I've just got my Club Tour back from being stripped, powder coated coated and rebuilt, very pleased with it, hopefully good for another 30 years, so will outlive me! Still to add decals...

My Raven could do with a face lift.
May I ask who you used for the work?

Many thanks

Matt

It was a local engineering firm in Bridport, they've done frames before and the chap seemed to be enthusiastic about bikes - Townsend Engineering

I thought to keep it as close to the original as possible, BRG just looked right :)

Lovely bike, Adrian!  Good work by your Bridport firm.

Just curious:  what gearing do you have?  Thinking about the Abbotsbury Hill...

Cheers,  John

Great job, and perhaps having no decals makes it less of a target to steal?
If you do fit decals will you have to spray lacquer over the top?
