Re: No I still own it. The frame has been fully restored in a midnight blue and white detailing by Dave Marsh and is awaiting a rebuild.

Hi Just seen this thread and had to comment. I had a new one of these in about 1977 (My first and only new fully built bike)and did some club riding, and even a couple of 5 and 10 mile time trials until I built a Carlton Clubman in 1978/9 It was a bit of a tank but rode well enough. Nice...

Cant see pics

How bad is reasonable condition?

At the moment its this. And no they are not my paving slabs!! :shock: Although its wearing P2's at the moment until I can get the Rock skox apart to fit the stanchion covers

My version was a home built 3 speed tracker in about 1972. It had Cow horns fitted, and the mudgaurds were binned for the little blumells shorties. and 26x 1 3/8 tyres. I had seen a mates imported cruiser style bike which was a cross between a mountain bike and a chopper. We had nothing like...

I agree with the comments above. Never tested mine to destruction though! I suppose if we had never seen anything better, which we hadn't, then it was better than nothing. :shock: Dean.

Nice ride Richard! 4 hours? Was that there and back? LOL Well done. Dean.

Perfick size for me!could I be so bold as to ask for a number if there are some left please. Think I am 18th line. Dean PS I reckon that the BB could be saved by pressing a steep tapered cone into it. Either use a heavy threaded bar to pull it in or I would use my bench mounted hydraulic...

I think you said it all GOOD! How many are left? I am an engineer by trade and I really cannot see that it would be heat treated to a high hardnes level as it would make its shear strength poor. Also if they hardened the fine threads they would strip when tightening. Basically they...

Now Sold to a good home. Thanks.

Maybe I wont !!!!!!!!!! Just had this reply. I thought I was reading the start of a joke. Hi many thanks for your purchase. I was just trying the bike to see if it is still ok when suddenly a cat ran across the road. I swerved to avoit it but unfortunately the front wheel hit the...

And if one of the daughters needs a knockabout bike then it would be fine as a back up. :wink: I think that these were the bottom of the pile when it came to the MF range but I dont expect a lot for the money I paid. will be better than an appollo though!

Its now on hold for someone until tomorrow night. 8) Thanks Dean.

To be honest I wanted a spare pair of 7 speed wheels for the lanes instead of rubbishing my Kona original rims and A/B drive tyres.

Cheers for that one! :D Just bought it.
