Whiskers, I remember them as they built my first proper road bike I had a Ken Ryall frame bought some new Campag bits and kept some of my old stuff then slowly upgraded to some Shimano 600 bits and pieces.
One of the photos I posted up was a fellow PCC member and he is riding the club tandem, that was fun to take around the track.
I remember Steve Hefernan (sp) used to race at the Rec sometimes and I think as most cyclists in the day he worked part time at Condor.
Jeeez I remember John and his lets cycle 35 miles have a 30 min rest do a 25 miler time trial then when thats finished cycle home. Lucky he always had some liquid glucose with him hidden away, remember hill climbs and tricycle racing and there was that old timer with one leg that would crop up at those meets.
Kingsbury Circus yeah thats the meeting point I remember one run when some youngster turned up all beaming as his Dad had bought him a new bike (the equivalent of a £99 Halfords special) and the trip was to Amersham, half way there the bike started to disintegrate and somehow he limped into town and John had to pay his fare back to London as there was no way he was cycling back.
I also fcuking hated/detested having to repair Tubs grrrrrrrrrrrr
Go on admit it did any of you shave your legs as the lady spectators loved the smooth feel of your legs smothered in a cream to keep the muscles warm ;p
