  • safe for work luci ? ?

    the louis theroux documentary put him in the total loon category
    unhealthy relationship with his mother / self confessed ladies man ... yeah right !

    That's her. I Googled it.

    ... wait, where did she go?

    After she died, Jimmy kept his mother's corpse in the house...

    ... for four days.

    It is a badly kept secret that he became a porter in Leeds hospitals during the height of his fame, not through any sense of charity, but so that he had night time access to the morgues.

    Dressing for sex with Jimmy Savile consisted of putting a tag on your toe and laying very, very still.

  • Ride around Leeds sights, spend time betting on the lots in from the poshest public internet portal, get photos done at somewhere connected to the late great Jimmy of the turntablism genius.so many possibilities

  • I can't tell you what a good ride that'd be!!!

  • it called old fashioned
    they way it used to be done in the old days

  • In the early to mid-1930s a rider probably had three sprockets in the back and one up front. Riding below the chainstay was a pulley wheel which acted as a chain tensioner. Early versions (as in the pictures below) required the rider to reduce the chain tension, pedal backwards and with his gloved hand move the chain to the desired sprocket. Later systems, called the Vittoria Margherita (1935 and on) had a rod-controlled pusher on the chainstay that would move the chain when the rider backpedaled.This is barely visible in the photo above. It was clumsy but it beat getting off the bike then removing, flipping and replacing the rear wheel. Cycle historian Frank Berto noted that the Vittoria derailleur systems were rugged, simple, reliable and the tension wheel rode high enough to give good ground clearance, an important consideration in an era of bad roads. Unlike the some of the more fragile gear changing system on the market at the time, the Vittoria still worked when fouled with mud.

  • Thanks Dicki - also did some UTFS-ing.

    he appears to have a normal front derailer on it as well, even though only one chain ring? And only one sprocket at the back

  • some of those cottered cranksets have very close ratio'ed chainrings sometimes only a couple of teeth different so it can be difficult to spot the 2nd chainring hiding behind the outside one

    I listened to an audio recording!.....A former girlfriend was given it by someone at the BBC.....The voices sounded like Merton and Saville but it could have been a fake...but if it were it was a very good one.
