Villiers Sportif

I personally own one of these oustanding cycles.

Paul had just recently built this cycle and I am totally in awe of it.

Im my younger days I used to race and hill climb for  a local club, I owned two Rory O’Brian cycles fitted with Camap Record etal,

Columbus and Reynolds 631.

Paul offered me an oppurtunity of a lifetime to own this frame as I am among a very small circle of tradesman that work for Paul

in various fields of his cycle production.

I have kitted my cycle out with 650B Zac 21 rims on Novatec Hubs 36 spoke

A vintage unused late 60s Suntour front and rear derraileur, Dia compe deep reach front and rear calipers

Dia compe bar end friction shifters,

B17 brooks saddle

Sunrace rear block

Sunrace front compact double

Zenith Classic stem

Nitto Moustache bars

Blackburn rear rack & Gilles Berthoud stainless mudguards

Schwalbe 650B tan sidewall tyres

This cycle is the finest riding experience I have ever had and I have tried a great number of cycles.

It is literally like floating on air, the cycle is so well balanced and rigid with out the harshness of an alloy ride.

Masterpiece.
