E.G. Bates Time Trial – part two

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
