Re:

I’ve never seen a rear monostay Alves before... interesting

Is that a mini-gusset at the headtube/downtube?

Hmmm is it fillet? My eyes are going.

I don’t have a hardtail retro any more. Come to think of it I don’t have a hardtail anything.

As you’re not selling me the golden one any time soon, and I have everything here to make a complete dog’s dinner of this one, pm me your bestest bestest to a bike smuggling compatriot.

Who put the 1970s seaside printed personalised t shirt lettering on it?

Will need this for the August meet won’t I?

Yes you will.

How will you manage without it?

You won’t.

True.
