I got my Fothergill from Hilary - must say it’s a nice ride, though I’m not selling but assuring you there are a few around.
Also check out http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/builders/fothergill-james.html I believe Hilary might even have written the article.

I raced on a Fothergill in the early 60's. Lovely frame with superb lugwork. Unfortunately I didn't really appreciate it at the time.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
