Hello

I've just taken a punt on ebay for a Richards Bros bike, Reynolds 753 & Shimano 600 etc, I'm pleased with the price but would like to Know about Richards bros, are they UK? if so where abouts and do they still manufacture? etc etc etc,

Any info would be greatfully recieved.

Reynolds tubing and Shimano 600 componentry makes it interesting
 
And 753 is (was) some exotic stuff. Reynolds required a special certificate to weld tubesets. At .3mm in the non-butted section, you don't wanna let this thing take a standing fall onto any hard edge.
 
I'm very pleased with the gear and the frame (especially for the price) but would love to know more about Richards bros. I hoping to compete with it in April (my first event).
