Hugh Porter is a four time world champion racer and British Cycling Hall of Fame legend, and it was a pleasure to piece a tough, nippy road bike into shape around this lovely frame that bears his name. Bought by DRC from the original owner since new, this tasty old skool 531 club whip has been completely rebuilt in the workshop into a fast, no-nonsense flat bar road bike for tearing around town in style, or heading into the hills for some serious miles at speed. If you like the bike but prefer a traditional drop bar set-up just ask, similarly we can offer the bike as shown but with stem-mounted shifters instead.
