Re: any plans on scanning these? I am sure David Orr, formerly of the small North Cheshire Velo club, would enjoy reading through these. (So would I) I had the roundel put on when I refurbished Dave's bike. BLRC decal by philip.knight, on Flickr

that is why I have recommended it. here and the enquirer was happy to recommend it to others and so he saved me the need to repeat myself. I have a set of GB Superhoods rubber hoods which I have treated before impending installation, and I will also treat a set of Dare handlebar sleeves before...

Vaseline is a petroleum based product and should be kept away from rubber. After doing my normal research, I use Aerospace 303 Outdoor Protectorant for old rubber products.

Re: As the watermark indicates, this was from threespeedhub. The rare gaps in the V-CC library can occasionally be filled from other sources. This is one I go to. And it is ideal to inform your project. Philip

Re: p8

Re: that was a compliment! We are planning a trip to travel drive the route Van describes. Then onto the Inner and Outer Hebrides, and to the north of Scotland. Which Hobbs of mine? I have finally collected the awkward parts for the Blue Riband, and I am dropping the rims and hubs off this...

Re: lost interest then. I have a number of the 1940s and 50s cages, so that counts me out. Unusual to market a replica metal bottle for a modern cage.

Re: thanks for that. Will be curious to see the selling price... and then the postage to Australia.

Re: look up Evaporust. Depends on the item; I use oxalic acid, electrolysis or Evaporust. For the oxalic acid, I mix up a more dilute mix and allow for it to work over a number of days. All work well to convert the rust.

Re: American help required - stars & stripes Claud Butler Ted Ernst also replied on 18 June with It is sure to pique the interest of the V-CC ME.
