Rourke TT bike makes Cycling Weekly’s 50 greatest bikes all time

https://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/532138/vote-now-the-50-greatest-bikes-of-all-time.html

Ian Cammish won numerous BBAR titles on various models of the same or similar bike.

Rourke bikes had also helped Phil Griffiths to win BBAR titles before Ian, then amazingly  Kevin Dawson was on Rourke bikes after Ian and went on to win a record number of Titles

Please feel free to vote for our bike. If nothing else it did make a bit of time-trail history.

Twitter

I’m now on twitter. I will keep the frames and shop stuff reguarly topped up however I’m using it as my personal one too, so beware you could find some random Stoke City any sport and even a spot of fishing on there.

This has become popular now with clients keeping check on their bike progress, if you would like the odd picture of your bike’s progress. Let Gareth know when you have your measure up. Then drop me a tweet.
