🇬🇧ROY THAME Vintage Steel Road Bike Reynolds 531 Comp 58cm Frame 9.5kg SHIMANO 600 SERVICED MINT
Fantastic condition vintage steel road bike.
This was made in Putney. Yes, things were not always made in China. Especially high end bicycles were always made in London, extremely lightweight. Not made of plastic. (carbon).
This is the lightest, most comfortable bicycle you will ever ride.
Dates from 87-ish. In immaculate condition..
Made with Reynolds 531 Competition tubing. One of the lightest tubing ever made.
Shimano 600 (Ultegra)
Fully refurbished, all original parts/ new paint/ original decals.
This bike came to me in a sorry state. A bad case of Garage-itus. Filler, Paint splashed all over. But thankfully, no rust. 🙏
Roy Thame was one of the most important figures in British Cycling history.
As the Chairman of Holdsworth, he only made his own excellent high end Road Bikes, selling alongside Holdsworth frames. He even had his own racing team, whilst also running the Holdsworth racing team. Also the Chairman of the British Olympic Cycling Team. As well as distribution of Campagnolo here in the UK, and USA.
This is my forth Roy Thame, and it's head and shoulders one of the rest. Only my Roberts is lighter than this.
Fully serviced and ready to ride away.
Extremely lightweight.
Steel bikes do not come much lighter.
Very fast high performance Road Bike.
Stops amazingly well too.

Over 1000 bikes sold. I am here to make your cycling the best it can be.
All listings have been test ridden. Each bike has been fully stripped down and given a complete overhaul. Each and every part is cleaned, tested and should it need too, replaced. No bike leaves the workshop unless it has had this process. As a used bicycle, expect some signs of usage.
Collection from Beckenham, 10 Mins train ride from Brixton.
Could possibly meet at local train station: Brixton Dulwich/London Bridge/Victoria
