IceCzar, I think Noleen Racing (the original K2 Smart Shocks) still make complete and parts (try www.noleenj6.com). I've attached a copy of the Tech parts sheet which might help as well....

My old Mercian started with 70*** under the BB - and it was made and collected direct from Mercian in 1970.... Hope that helps - Thanks for your copy from your Uncle - a good bike in graet condition... K.

THM - that one is a beauty by Charlies - any another's hidden away?

THM - another lovely ALVES. Charlie built well…..

W, Thank you for the feedback. Most are now 25 - 30 years old and many are (very) well used. In the UK many I've followed have been over advertised, but I've seen well used actually sold at £80 / £120, the few in good at £180 - £250 and precious few at mint with low miles at £250 / £300. Thanks...

Thanks. A nice bike - sorry I've missed it. What did it sell for?

W, Is it still for sale??? What size (looks like a Large but might be a Medium) It's been modified from original, but I've got 4 (Proflexs) and it might be a good addition to me (In Scotland).....K

J. More from your collection- on sale??? K.

V, I think you sold it to me a long time ago (and I paid it nearly twice the price - a bit rich eh??? - its now for sale)......

My Dave Davey (1961) is still up for sale if you would like another one? (I'm to old to use it any more).......

What about DAVE DAVEY Bikes? I've still got a very rare Reynolds 531 tubed DAVE DAVEY time trial racing bike still in regular use. Dave Davey worked for Claud Butler Bikes until they went into liquidation during 1956/57. Thereafter he traded for himself at 7 Wordsworth Parade (near Turnpike...

Afternoon JAH, Do you still have the Alves? I've still got mine - a Reynolds 653 tubed ALVES time trial / road racing bike made June 1993. It's got a good SR Royal (an excellent copy of Campag Super Record Chainset and has a Campag Super Record 44T ring). See attached - and still for sale...
