  third question related to a 2017 internal report from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) which said the institute, which represents the nuclear energy industry, had “engaged third parties to engage with media through interviews and op-eds” and named “environmentalist Michael Shellenberger” as one of those it had engaged.

• Cyclone Cycles "No Name" project frame - stuck BB

  in Complete bikes and frame & forks • 18 hours, 15 minutes

  

  Unknown maker, possibly a Holdsworth frame resprayed by Cyclone Cycles in Coventry many years before I got it- https://www.nkilgariff.com/HoldsCats/Cat­1949/Cyclone49.htm is a closeish match off a poor picture - with rear brake bridge and cable stops possibly moved about (this latter info is based on a chat about the frame with Doug Pinkerton a few years back).

  The frame number 118592 doesn't match up to Holdsworth history though, so it is more likely to be something completely different.

  Interesting geometry or I'm shit at measuring:

  24.5" / 630mm seat tube
  22.5" / 570mm top tube
  210mm headtube
  Seatpost diameter measure 27.2mm, I can chuck in a bbb seatpost if it helps.
  OLN 126mm

  Fork is unlikely to be the original. Headset is stronglight, bb I think is UN54 from memory but it is stuck for me without a suitable long-lever here but it should free up with a bit of oomph. It is smooth though so might work out for an easy build.

  I'm 6ft2 and it felt ok, might work better for slightly taller rider. Always enjoyed riding this, just n-1'ing due to needing to free up storage space.

  Frame number is 118592

  Not the best pics, apologies.

  Collection / arranged pick up S.Mcr.

  £50 or offers considered.

  with a couple of old reflector brackets added on to make a loop for the bungee to be secured through.

  Seeing Amey's collection of racks with Inbreds i'm not sure I'd ever shared mine in family camping trip luggage carry mode.

  How's your day to day nutrition & hydration? Sure that your pace isn't too fast, perhaps drop it back a bit?

  Fwiw: I'd switch out the apple for a couple of handfuls of dried apricot & cashews. Eat half within the first hour half in second hour. Drink to thirst. That's just my way though, no assurances it'd work for you.
