Great that you have resurrected the AENDE marque. Pongo will no doubt be smiling. I acquired a 1978 59 cm AENDE frame a few years ago. The original bike was a single speed time trial machine – I tracked the original to the 5th Floor website and built the frame up to the same specification. Had the frame resprayed the same 70s metallic green with correct decals.
Do you know anything of the bike’s history – it was supposed to have been used to good effect by someone in Leicester?
I have the bike in Abu Dhabi along with four stable mates (1972 Woodrup,1987 Tommasini, 2000 Gios and 2012 Fondriest), it is my favourite and I take pleasure in over-taking tri-bikes at the Yas circuit Tuesday nights.

Good luck with the venture.
