I'd love to do Eroica again, and my nipper Aitch is super keen too! I'm just struggling with the £165 for both of us this year ... Not that it's overpriced compared to last year. If I'd got in early 2014 would have been way underpriced, cheap as chips! I think I'm just going to have to stump up and find the money from somewhere :-/
Frame number for the Hobbs. Philip, we're in the middle of a garage demolition here, so forgive the photo but all the crap that a 60+ year garage tends to accumulate is all shoehorned into the bikeshed at the moment. I just managed to squeeze an arm and torch in to get this shot!

I wasn't bothered about sharing the whole number, but you got me worried when you said about hiding the last two digits. I've no idea 'whats the worst that can happen' from sharing a bike frame number. But anyway ...
*edit - updated after Philip posted his frame number ;-)
I've been told my bike could be a Raceweight ... Here's a slightly better view of the lug work. This is a shot I took when I first got my greasy mitts on it in 2003.
