My oldest bike was my Dads a Lambert Proffessional, recently rebuilt for a track day at Calshott
My Falcon Proffessional a freebie from my Brother in Law when they emigrated became my first fixed several years ago, built for a hill climb comp I started commuting on it and then doing my Audax rides on it.
My Holdsworth Monsoon 1960, salvaged from a skip with fire damage it cost me a respray by Mario Vaz in Hither Green, only downside is a slight kink in a seat stay that puts the wheel slightly off centre at the brake bridge this occaisionally means the chain can throw off at high cadence.
My main mileage muncher a custom built Ron Cooper Audax bike built with Bates cantiflex steel tubing.
and another freebie Raleigh hack bike, currently stripped of guards etc and fitted with tri bars for Time Trialling [well its done two last year]
