Great pics. Thanks for sharing them.

Printspace for high quality prints and high resolution scans, they have an awesome hasselblad negative scanner.

Cool thanks, i'll check them out.

Trevor Bull - he's the LBS mechanic from when I lived in Brum and suggested I ride a fixed wheel when I was asking about 'as low maintenance as possible' bikes about 4 years ago! I knew he was an ex-pro but have never seen any photos of him in action.
Superb.

thanks !

with an average diameter of 80 microns, i doubt you see individual fibres, i struggle under a microscope.

Great pics, thanks to you and thanks to your dad. My first ever 'proper' bike was a Tony Doyle racer, happy days.

Thanks for sharing, a really nice collection :)

Why not get a manufacturer/clothing label/etc to sponsor the book? Seems like the sort of thing that a lot of companies would be willing to put their name to.

Also, I've got a proper neg/slide scanner if you want to borrow it (currently lent to Wigan Will).

Cheers Tom. Yeah, there seems like there'd be plenty of routes to try and take if and when it came to putting a book or something together. My dad already has a decent negative scanner, plus a massive flatbed for prints, he seems pretty on the case with this. Hopefully there should be some more pics to show soon!

I didn't know where to post this, so I think to revive a great thread with some more great pictures, sorry if I upset anyone, no my intention

Polakowski, is your dad Polish?

Wow thanks for sharing, both sets of pics are class
