And finally............ A Frank Herety - it's apparently from about 1985....the stickers aren't original as they are 90's Transfers (as fitted to mine) - paint work is immaculate, so I think restored.... and it has Deore Triple on it... The pics aren't fantastic as they were taken through the 'Stores' windows and not lit ! They are finding room for it and it will go on 'show' in the main part of the museum soon....

I like the Sibbit tandem. I am in the process of restoring a 1930's Saxon twin tube lady back tandem. It's heavy enough to do a ram raid with!!!The solo Sibbit is to die for.
