Re:

The saga continues. Maggie Thompson (Formally Gordon Smith.) Posted a lengthy and interesting comment on my blog post here: http://davesbikeblog.squarespace.com/bl ... -bike.html
She also emailed me and sent the original picture that had been used in the 1976 "Cycling" article, with her head cut off to protect her amateur status.
Here is the pic, Dave.
PS. I believe the bike still has its original wheels. I just counted the spokes in this picture, there are 28 in each wheel, the same as the pictures of the bike now at the start of this thread.

I would post the picture if I could just figure out how to do that.

Wow! Thanks Dave - Great to hear from 'Maggie' herself and what a great read - an interesting lady! The bike has indeed found a great home and will be cherished even more-so now!! Interesting to hear that she sold it in 1978 so I wonder where it was for the last 35 years or so...?
Cheers,
Martin.

By the way, could you send me that picture on email please - I can then upload it here... Cheers.

Great story, really great story. Amazing

Great looking fork crown too! Does it have a name?

Just read through this - very, very nice story and pleased to see the bike has been saved from the crusher!!

Between here and Dave Moulton's blog, this is a great story.

@marty I hope Maggie takes up your offer to be reunited with the bike. That's a photo I would love to see.

Re:

Dave - good day - it may be that Marty hasn't visited this thread for some time. It's probably worth sending him a pm if you haven't heard from him via your other routes.

I've only just discovered the thread myself. Enthralling, to say the least!

Thanks DD
Marty did contact me.
