This is a bit random but here goes...
I was talking to my dad at the weekend about his first racing bike. Turns out it came from the Co-Op in Sheffield (because my grandad wanted the MASSIVE divi that would come from purchasing a bike through them) and was badged as a CWS - or Co-Operative Wholesale Society - bike. He says it was a very nicely put together frame, light, with ornate lugs and Benelux derailleur. Just wondered if anyoneout there has ever come across a CWS bike, or owns one now, or knows who built for them? If so I'd be really interested to hear from you.
Cheers,
Luke
