Thanks for clarifying Capital being a Continental bike, Brendan & for at the cheaper end of the cycling spectrum, Silverstreak has done pretty well for it's age. :lol: I've tried googling, hoping to find some history on Silverstreak to no avail but have often wondered if it was named after...

I bought the gel seat to replace the old uncomfortable seat! :lol: Many thanks for clarifying & interesting to see that these gripshifts aren't originals as they aren't popular nowadays. :?

Waltzers are my favourite fairground ride & no.7 was the fastest spinning car on Tom Wilson's Maxwell Spinning Top Waltzer hence my username. :D
