Miracle.

There's a bloke called Hilary Stone whom buy and sell old frames, I don't know if he kept a record of bicycle/frame he sold as it might be a good place to start to look for your Vic Lyons racer.
I bought my brother's from Hilary so a good place to start I reckon.

Thanks for the contact Ed. I suspect Hilary is a geezer and not a gezeress. I will give him a call and maybe email him on Monday to give him a chance to get over the Festive Season. If I get the bike back I hope the bloke who bought it has kept it clean.and there is some tread left on the tubs, they were training tubs if I remember back 50 years. Now we must all kick the door down of 2014 and enter with renewed vigor, more miles, a bottle of Newkie Brown in one hand and a Sambucca in the other and enjoy it more than last year.
Happy New Year ALL. I will keep you informed about the VL. -
Me and Mike had a good couple of days reminiscing and looking at old photos. I do admit that we did not recognise all of the faces in the old 'club run' photos but we had a laugh trying. Hes not a bad cook either and he enjoys a glass or two. He has a lovely wife so it was a good trip. Even my missus enjoyed it, a run out now and again does her good! We are now looking forward to a rematch down here in Sunny Bognor.
Thanks LFGSS for this reunion. However it might not end here because Mike informs me that he thinks others in our mini gang of the 50/60's could still be connected with the 34 Nomads. I feel an e-mail coming on and perhaps more beers.
Thanks again all ..... a great forum. -
Brill!

Lovely. The other thread where at least on-line reunions have taken place is the Paddington CC thread:

What a brilliant thread!
I was just looking into the whole Vic Lyons thing, and I came across this chap who sounds like he was a visitor to the shop 'back in the day'.
He's called Richard, talking about Simplex Tour de France gears.
Could he be a mate as well?

...and here is a link to a flickr account referring to a Vic Lyons machine - about the only one I could find.

This is pretty spectacular.
