Lovely restoration!

Size? Collection/post info?

If they don't sell here I imagine there would be a lot of interest from Veteran Cycle Club members. The bimonthly magazine 'News and Views' has a classified section (Market Place) where non-members can also place adverts for a fee.

Beautiful historic frames like these, I'm sure, would cause a flurry of excitement!

Dibs Pashley and pannier

Thanks, looks promising.

Any recommendations for someone in London to fix an Omega Speedmaster- apparently the stop/start buttons on the second hand are jammed (asking for a friend).

Great to meet up and keep Waifs & Strays going - started with a bang (wonder how that saga ended?) followed by a lovely ride around town!

In Northern Cyprus, found this Great Tit chick lying on the path about to be devoured by ants. Took it in and built a crude nest for it, spent a lot of the next few days catching and feeding it insects and catching and getting rid of its 'poo bags'. When ready, took it outside checked it was starting to hop about and flap its wings when its parents appeared and started feeding it and guarding it. Eventually saw it become fully fledged and independent - felt so worthwhile - amazing feeling!

Totally agree- how he seems to have become something of a 'national treasure' I will never understand.

When you're no longer bikeless, test yourself on Swains Lane - that'll give you the answer.

Hi Julian, we met up for the first few - good times!

Dibs Evo again if still available- happy to collect pm today or anytime tomorrow

Usually preceded by some serious grunting and followed up with staring at phone for 10 minutes while sitting on machine.

I'd join, so long as it's not almac's early start!

Sadly, I don't think I am leader material.

Interesting to see Pantani on the cover of the Training Bible ...relevant to the contents?

I did message you, not sure why you didn't see it.

Dibs - pm on way

Sure, if a pair in working order and good condition.

Campag brakes 90s era, good/very good condition.

London collection/meet preferred.

Southeastern trains getting in on the act.

1950s and 60s gold frames are my all-time favourites; I have quite a few at the moment as I use reading glasses as well as regular ones. Algha and Rodenstock from that era are great - Kings Cross Eyes usually has a good selection of vintage/classic frames with prices much lower than new frames elsewhere.

Haha, yes; 1960s gold-rimmed. I still have my 'Buddy Holly's' too but, sadly, my first ever pair - pink plastic rims - got broke playing football.

I've been wearing glasses since I was 7 (short-sighted and astigmatic). I'm now 71 and over the last ten years or so my eyesight has actually gone into reverse and been improving and I can now wear again glasses which I first wore when I was 15.

In my experience they are all much of a muchness so it's worth finding your local independent optician. (I go to Mr Lim in Crouch End, no frills but with a technician who makes a great job of fitting lenses into the vintage frames which I take in).

Not in London now for a few days but happy to deliver when back. I'll keep in touch.
