Anyone else visit the cycle show this weekend? Lots of dull (quite literally in many cases, haven't people had enough of stealth colours yet?)

I quite liked this:

And then there was this:

It's a J.A. Townsend 'original' Light Blue from 1900

I did visit the show, I did see a few beauties. But most of the attention seemed to be around the super bikes.

had a chat with a n other local retro rider who seemed quite keen on the idea and even volunteered a poss location

 

[Tony Raynor]

I'd be interested and could bring a few bikes if needed.

sounds a great idea bet there would be a lot of interest of specialist suppliers who couldn't pay big show prices could be brought onboard to
