@Malaysian, Maybe a closer study of Hetchins history, and the building arrangements will reveal that it is not only post-buyout frames which were built in Yorkshire, but more like the buyout happened because of the close working relationship which already existed.
I done personally find hte curly stays beautiful, to my eyes they jar almost as badly as a Flying Gate. Thats why we all collect different things. I didnt insult your bike, so there was no need to insult mine.
The jEnsen isnt going to be stripped. If you read abouyt randonneur bikes and their genre, you will see that the value of the bike was in its being a complete integrated unit, rather than the frame and bits from your shed, that most English bikes were. Jack Taylor's excepted of course, hence the growing interest in them today.
