Subject: [CR]Meteor bicycle information wanted

Hello List members:

I am inquiring for a friend in Visalia, Calif. who recently purchased a Meteor road bike which has a made in Worksop decal on one of the tubes. I have seen the frame and fork, and it appears to be of high quality and made from Reynolds 531. The frame's finish is a transparent royal blue over a completely chromed frame (like OLMO did way back when...). There are numerous decals with some impressive European professional races named on them, and a metal head badge. Personally, this is the first Meteor bicycle I can remember seeing. One thing I do know, and have learned from this list, is that Worksop is the place where Raleigh Professional bicycles were built (if I have remembered correctly).

Can anyone on this list offer a little history on this bicycle?

In the future I will try to get better information about all of the decals, their placement and what they say and look like, as well as what the components are (he bought the whole bike). However, any information that anyone out there can offer is better than what we have at this point.

There must be someone from the UK who can offer something.
