And this lovely Bob Read,
Was on Ebay for pennies so I bid and won it, drove to Donny to collect and it turned out that the old guy that raced it for years had passed away and his nephew just wanted rid of it and was clearing the old lads house out,
He gave me a pile of NOS parts and wheels and stuff, sold most of it, so the bike needed up being free,
Was klarted with oil , dust and cobwebs,
Complete strip down, thorough clean and rebuild, new tape for the bars and a era correct-is saddle from the bay, t-cut the paint and waxed with high end carnuba,
Tyres still held air,
Had a little custom name sticker made with the owners name on,

Welcome to the fleet of grief,
I might hang myself next week so who knows,
It is what it is.
