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.

Guardian Bookshop Notes:
A celebration of one of mankind’s greatest invention – the most efficient self-powered means of transportation ever invented. Rob Penn has designed and built his own dream machine and in describing the process, he explores the history of bikes, their social importance, the science and design involved, and all-in-all welcomes a new golden age for pedal power.
Publisher’s description:
Tells the story of a journey to design and build a dream bike. From Stoke-on-Trent, where an artisan hand builds his frame, to California, home of the mountain bike, where the author tracks down the perfect wheels, via Portland, Milan and Coventry, birthplace of the modern bicycle, this narrative is about our love affair with cycling.
