Sounds an an interesting project about an awesome guy.
My local bike shop had a similar old dude that ran it for 40years I think, he got in debt toward the end so went a little loopy in a bitter way.
But apart from that he was a very helpful guy, who worked high up in halfords in his younger years but left because of their wicked ways.
He had a 50year collection of bikes & parts in a heap at the back of his shop. And he was also a keen stereo photographer.
I havent seen him in a while as he recently retired (think he was 80) but Im thinking it might be a good idea for me to archive some of his stuff, get some stories for him etc.. as he holds a lot of history about my area.
Also, did you noticed the big typo in that video footage you posted? it says "jamacian"
