all this takes me back to when I started out racing a while ago. Rode with Clarence Wheelers, which was run by a lovely old bloke called Alf. He had a thing for fixed and used to make all his young riders do a few seasons on fixed before putting them on geared bikes.
One bike I had for a while stuck in my memory: a Geoffrey Butler 753 in white with red graphics and red airlite hubs with Clement silks. I rode that at Hearne Hill a few times and took it to Calshott for some scarey sessions. We also had a track tandem available, witch was terrifyingly fast around there. Nice tho.
