Hello all,
I recently picked up a Pat Rohan from the early 1970's. The NR derailleur was a 72. I am hoping that someone out there has some background on this British builder. I am assuming he is British from the Union Jack fragment on the frame decal. This frame has nice lug work but it has been battered over the years.
I am new to this list so here is a bit of background on me. I started track racing in 1979 did ok at the local level. I have also spent the last 20+ years in and out of the bike biz. Retail at one of the greatest Seattle area shops of the day Wheelsport LTD., sadly long gone. In manufacturing where we built some of the frame building bits and jigs for Tim Isaac when he was building Paramount's and Riverdale's at Match bicycle company. Some consulting for a local company Hampsten Cycles. My current collection has only a few bikes my favorites being a Roberts track bike and a late 70's Raleigh Pro.
Cheers,
Ben Spencer
