I know of at least three other forum members who also have a similar frame, and I've a few more beynod that. Next is my '73 Speedwell Titalite. Not sure how many of these were made, but they were definitely rare, especially ones this early ('73 is the first year they were made). This also has a few rare or at least uncommon parts, such as the Weyless pedals, OMAS Ti BB, 3TTT adjustable stem, Hi-E hubs with hi-lo rear hub, Ideale 90 alloy-railed saddle, etc. Lastly, my Parkpre Team Road bike. Parkpre MTBs are not rare, and a few of the later Parkpre road bikes pop up occasionally. However, the road version with the pink/white fade and blue splatter are quite rare. These were team issue bikes and I'm not sure if the road frames with this paint scheme were ever introduced in the market. I know regular forums members have already seen each of these many times, but here we go again...


There was a Look on eBay that sold earlier this month. I would like one of those someday.
