There is a Ken Bird track frame on ebay and in the description it states that "Birdy" had his frames built by Roberts and Holdsworths. I own two Ken Bird machines a double gent's tandem and a copy of Eddy Merckx road bike, I was told that Bill Phibrook made both of these frames is this untrue or did Ken use other builder's? It would be great to know who made my Ken Bird frames as they are both of superb quality. His frames were very popular in the 70's and 80's and highly regarded in the UK.

Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
