My 1890's style handlebars are ready!

<Hilldodger runs around like a five year old>

Back in November I ordered several pairs of some 1890's style racing bars to be hand made. Just heard they are ready

They'll be off to be nickel plated and then some will be for sale

Also means I get the originals back and I can build my 1895 racer up at last

Wonder when the same period frames will be done so I can begin building my first batch or hand built Peregrine racers up.

Also getting some copies of the original Leicester Cycle Co enamel head badge made.

L/H drive was around at the Peregrines I've seen have R/H. so that's what I'll be doing.

Spoon brakes?

Are they 28" wheels?

Yep, designing a spoon brake at the moment.

It has a 30" front and 28" rear but you can't get 30" tyres anymore so my new ones will be running 28" f/r

Excellent, esp the 30' wheel

Am I right to think that a spoo brake is homicidal?
