Finally back on the road after an extensive hunt for a very elusive & specific bottom bracket* is Felix’s grubby but still stunning (and very rare) E.G. Bates time-trial machine kitted out with a mixture of old & new components by its owner. Weighing in at just 19lb this is one hell of a nippy commuter bike! Aside from sourcing the BB, all I really had to to do was service the headset and drool over its wonderful frameset…
* vintage Campagnolo Pista, English threaded, ISO taper… which set us back a mere £35 on eBay
