John Pennington contacted me and said …
I’ve found and bought another Pike (at least I hope it a Pike!?).
An image is attached of the frame number and I’ll send more in separate emails due to size. If it is genuine and you’d like to add it to your site feel free. I’m going to get this one re-sprayed and built up again for my son.
Stan’s son sent me some information …
Yes, was built by Philip Pike in 1982 using Reynolds 531. It’s a 24” with 14 & 3/8” wheel clearance. Was originally being built for a Barry Loveridge but looks like it was a cancelled or non-collected order.
We have a limited amount of original Pike of Crewkerne decals available, for frames build by Stan’s son Philip, but John intends to respray and use ‘Stan Pike’ decals he has purchased from eBay. Not strictly correct, and could cause confusion, but it’s great that John will be restoring the bike to its, incorrectly badged, former glory.
It would be best for the sake of authenticity if John used the correct decals. A work of art should be accredited to the artist!
All the bike needs is a good cleaning , please keep it original, patina is in these days ! Great bike !
