Nick - looks fantastic! well done

I never look at the tread direction when I'm putting on a tyre because it makes not a blind bit of difference which way the tread is facing. I'm more concerned with getting the damn thing over the rim!
I dont think he was mentioning the tread (which, you're right, does not make a difference with slick tyres) but the non-lined up stem and logos. It's generally a good idea to do this so if you get a flat it's easier to find what punctured your tube. and it generally makes things look cleaner.

"brakeless with flat pedals?" - probably for about a week until i really hurt myself. yeah think straps would be sensible
A week? One second is too long. Suicide. You have no way of stopping.

It looks suspiciously like a break away? Didn't know they did one with track ends.
It sure is. Commuter on the train bike. I didn't know they did them until Mr SmallFurry put me onto it.

after an seemingly never ending search, and a trip out to deepest darkest Somerset.... i finally have gears!
need to swap a few things around, get a decent stem, and maybe new bartape, but i'm pretty happy with it TBH!

it's lovley... the photos a bit shit though, i'll take some more now.
Mirage groupset, and Athena hubs, so not the best evesr, but it'll keep me rolling at least! -
almost there my major taylor tribute / guvnor / path racer. cones in the rear wheel need adjusting and front brake tweeking. with hide food and friction the brooks b17 saddle should gain a nice rosey patina.
many thanks to peter carver and his private cycle jumble
Got a lot of time for that, very nice.
Edit - i meant the attatchment

hill special ,,, nice to see the name again. i had one of those a couple of years ago.
i can't really find a hell of a lot of info them, the previous owner was very helpful though, he even gave me all the christmas cards he has been receiving from them since '82 when he got it.
he's told them that it has moved on to me now, so i look forward to my first christmas card!

That's nice Rob. It needs a silver quill stem but that apart looks good.
hell yeah, i've got one on it's way from eyebrows. it came with a 140mm (?!?!), and that shitty black one was all i had.
