Hello, My name is Ross Allan, here's a bit about myself for any one who's intrested. I'm 28 yrs old and am a bicycle mechanic in a north london shop and have been working in the industry for the last 8 yrs. I pretty much love anything velo , but my main intrests are lugged track and road bike and bmx the latter being the 'buzz' of flying through the air with complete control and also the technical aspect of riding ramps and such . But anyway the rules say that this list is for the ol'school so I will get back to the introduction. Apart from being a bike mechanic I am also learning the art of the torch under the guidence of a framebuilder by the name of BONAVIA. I have been lucky enough to work in australia and the northwest of the states but am currently living in south london with my wife and a great crew of bike punks. At the moment I am currently recovering from knee surgery, so I have not een able to get out in the lovely fresh autum air yet, but this just means that first ride will be that bit sweeter.
My stable at the minute is not very large but consits of A mercian crit bike with full campy A condor track bike with full campy super record track, and clement tubs A S&M made Fit series 1 Bmx (I know its not ol'school) but its a great bike and this is only an intro. I 've been spending more money on tools recently.
My wife's stable is great A custom Vanilla road bike with columbus tubes A 81-82 Ciocc road bike with 1 generation shimano dura ace 6spd A 54 cm late seventys BOTTECCHIA road frame as a spare!! A mid 80's benotto track bike with a campy pista group And a awsome 60's Danish track bike by the name of SHROEDER with nurvex lugs I am trying to find more info about the bike and builder and would be greatful I am one has any info that might help the only other picture and info I could find was on the velostuf site and my wife's bike is the same model pictured just royal blue with white banding instead of green.
Anyway gotta get back to my pyshiotherapy. stay upright people!! Ross
