Thanks. It cleaned up well.

Rourke is a former British racer. From the company website:

The business has been built up by Brian who has an impressive C.V. including 25 years of road racing and mountain bike racing, amassing National Road and Track Championships and five Veteran Road titles. Brian has also ridden in the UK Milk Race 3 times and in numerous International events.

His son now builds the frames.
