Andy Rahe said "... does anyone know the production dates for a ron kitching cyclassic. There are his catalogs and if this information is in there then please feel free to point me in that direction..."

Another data point for you from the 1979 Ron Kitching catalogue. This catalogue is available from Chuck Schmidt's Velo Retro [ http://www.velo-retro.com/ ], an invaluabe resource to order inexpensive catalogue reproductions for your home library. It's really interesting to look through these catalogues, folks.

A 1979 Ron Kitching Cyclassic is specified in two models: 'Cyclassic 531' Reynolds tubing, and 'Cyclassic 971' Super Vitus tubing. Then it says in this letter case "FRAMES only assembled with head and bracket fittings but supplied less chainwheel sets. COMPETE CYCLES are custom built only to customer's special order. Prices on application."
