Pre 1950s rides of LFGSS: old bikes, vintage rats, classic lightweights

Found it, although this is early 60s ...

I had two sets of wheels, one with lightweight road tyres and the other with ‘Tubs’, I think the wheels were Mavic, but again, not sure. A few of the Actonia riders would go to Ghent, in Belgium, every year and try their luck at racing against the continentals. One of them, Johnny Willis, would always bring back (if ordered and paid for up front), sets of chrome wheel spokes. Quite a few of us had them and when the wheels were built they really did look good but unfortunately didn’t make you go any faster.
