A few weeks ago, photographer Phil Aynsley posted a link to a photo shoot of the ex-Villa factory TT1 to one of the lists http://www.philaphoto.com/imageLibrary/thumbnails.php?album=98 and the thing that got me was the offset of the triples. Looks much bigger than the 25mm I'm used to seeing (and riding). Anyone have any experience riding a TT with that much offset?

Regards,

Thanks for pointing these photos out Steve. Great collection of this and other bikes in there. I sometimes wonder how many original parts have disappeared during different ownerships over the years. Or, maybe he just liked a slower steering bike; it must have been an abrupt transition going from bevels to pantahs back then. I am surprised Lou did not comment. MikeV

PS: I added your collection of front end photos to mine too.
