Omschrijving

The frame builder Harry Hall was an enthusiastic amateur racing cyclist who opened a shop in Manchester in 1957 and started producing custom built frames which were used by many of the top cyclists of the time. Harry gained a reputation as a top cycle mechanic and he and his shop became famous for providing a service vehicle (a mini) at many UK events. Harry was also mechanic to Tom Simpson during the ill-fated 1967 Tour de France. Harry retired from the shop in 1989, started racing again and his victories included the British National & World Age Related Championship. Sadly, Harry died in 2007, but his shop “Harry Hall Cycles” still exists in Manchester. This would have been one of Harry Hall’s more mass produced but nice end hand crafted frames being built from lightweight Reynolds 531. It was built for Harry Hall cycle shop by Mike Kowal of Autostrada in Birmingham in the 80’s. Mike was one of the most prolific quality frame builders in the UK. Fitted with top quality gears and parts it’s a dream to ride and is suitable for vintage bike events such as Eroica Britannia.
