  • ...I'm 53..spent too many years going into other old northern fellows sheds going' that's a nice bike...why don't people want steel..bombproof' and wandering off with yet another classic to tinker with.
    Now I've got a basement full (well my 80 year old mum).. I have to divest myself of all but the most interesting..the '50's stuff..and the Roberts..and the one off Jarvis time trial frame that Mr Jarvis confirmed he'd built when I went round to get a dink fixed.
    ..oh dear, the list is getting bigger again..need to buy a garage with a house.
    Meanwhile I ride round on a flat bar 501 beater because of London traffic etc.

  • I am 53 and a north-eastener as sentimental about old steel as you are. 13 of them at the last count! It's probably been built by a northerner so think of the heritage, keep it.
