Hmmm... Seems quite a range of prices £40-50 seems the going rate more for NoS. I wonder why there are so many on the German EBay?

Looks tight ....

What is the going rate for these? Seems there are a few on eBay for £100+ ... is that true? do they sell at that price?

Thanks that is most useful ... so the thermal once has the same capacity as the standard one; yes?

Thanks ; I have a frame I am going to get a mate to paint but thought I'd do the stripping ... DO you have to be careful that chemical strippers don't mess with any chromed sections you wish to preserve??

If you don't like the term retro then this website must be an annoyance. The L'Eroica definition of an old, retro, vintage bike seems reasonable to me.

Thanks for the offer, what technique will you employ?

What is the best way? Sand blasting, nitromors or sanding?

How many different types were there and when were they brought out?

For me down tube shifters and toe clips define a retro bike. For sure as time moves on things change. Do the site owners have a definition?

Nice, but is it really Retro?

Is this still for sale?
