Yes, I definitely think the downtube is made from the 20mm cannon off a Messerschmitt BF109

I'm egged on.......

"Egged off" as bank of dad needs to buy a new phone for number one daughter.

Can't complain as the one that had died is an old iPhone 4 from years ago.....She has dead small hands so has been hanging on......Can just cope with the size of an iPhone 5 so off to find a 5SE.

Not that it matters now, but about 25 miles away, if that, so on the doorstep for a chap who drives up to 300 miles a day, every day.

Hi Neil. Thanks . 300 miles a day, blimey! Are you a driver by trade or just an ardent commuter?

Raleigh Montage, 501 frame, in Nottingham - looks like a hybrid (with 26" wheels) from before the time when the word hybrid was used in this context:

Comes with a free BSO!

It's a shame that SBDU Raleigh frame doesn't have an SBDU frame number on it.

I've put that Shimano kitted bike on my watch list, might be able to use some of the stuff on my CarHall TT frame.

I wonder if that Raleigh is really a SPD bike? Not sure what numbering system they used as it's not really my era..

Wow, I thought I coverd a big area of half a million souls but I think you beat me

My Godfather was an engineer for British Rail and inspected bridges and tunnels, he drove huge miles as well. I just remember his repetoire of Fords Cortina's from the early ones, then coke bottle and onto downright ugly
