Richard Masson relates: I was a racing mad lad and Frank took me to the Century Road Club in Waltham Cross, about 1954 and I stayed a member throughout my cycling career. I rode time trials mainly but some massed start, mainly evening 'sign up and race' events at Crystal Palace. We used to train on a set of rollers on the pavement outside Frank's shop on Saturday afternoons to the amusement of passing shoppers. We thought we were so cool!
