overburys touring bikes

[Cowsham]

Resurrecting an old thread, I've just finished a renovation on an Overbury's Connoisseur.
I used all period parts, the frame was resprayed by Argos Racing Cycles of Bristol and they did a fantastic job of it.
There certainly weren't any tracking issues as with a previous poster, it's a lovely ride. 1000016220.jpg1000016221.jpg1000016222.jpg1000016224.jpg

Lovely bike -- well done on that restoration.

Thanks Cowsham, I'm really enjoying reliving my youth on it

Me too!

Overburys, Worthing Pier

1987 Connoisseur, originally dark red with 3x6 friction Shimano and full touring gear. Now silver with 2x11 Campagnolo, tubeless tyres, mini-vees, no racks, and about 4Kg lighter (half that the tyres).

Could do with another respray, TBH.

These are rare but good-the first uk firm to make a decent MTB. True pioneers.

oddly enough 'pioneer' was the name given to one of the MTBs Overburys did. I own one of them.
