Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

It comes out on special occasions, a copy of the flyer produced to advertise the 1973 6 day race event, which incidentally is the year I was born so I am far to young to remember when Skol was sold on tap in pubs and certainly have never drunk a pint of Skol in a pub.

I'm only 5 years older & I remember Skol being on tap in many pubs, so reckon you could have found it somewhere when you were 'about' 18 But you didn't miss much anyway Drinking Skol at my first father in law's local is what switched me onto real ale

 

[I like Skol]

When I started to visit pubs at the end of the 80s and start of the 90s it was definitely all Fosters, Tennents, Carlsberg and Heineken. Skol and Hoffmeister had definitely had their day.

That's very nice indeed, but needs a silver stem surely? Too small for me though

Agree re stem and it's not far off size wise for me just the miles that put me off

It's not that far I may be off to look at another bike in Nottingham this weekend, just waiting to hear back from seller.

ps on Nott Bikeworks website it says 'January Sale 20% off all bikes' so that may make it more tempting to you

That 20% makes it a lot nicer

That's been advertised for a while, slowly dropping in price.

Probably Tange Champion #5, the basic one, if it's anything like the Elswick Stag I re-built over Christmas.
