Hetchins was an interesting chap and worked an angle and probably did not make you go faster but who cares. You needed something to stand out in the crowd and his curly stays did just that but they are iconic just as the lugs are. some would say they look like wrought iron gates.....other see them as works of art.....We can agree to disagree but anyone who is a 'hater' has in my book gone too far....they are different and on this occasion.....vive la difference!
I believe you [Stedlocks] and others who ride Hetchins, Bates, Ephgrave, HR Morris [he was Walthamstow] et al...should get Lotto funding because you are maintaining Britain's rich and diverse industrial heritage.....That is not a wind up!
Like the other frame on offer.....another beauty.
