Not quite of the same level but here is a pic of me racing at one of the Wednesday night criterium style races at Ashton Court, organised by Year 2000 (whatever happened to them?!).

Well, if we are not going to get the Caroline Alexander story then I will have to start telling my own Retro Bike racing story about the time when I watched the Tour of Switzerland with Thomas Frishknecht...

So ... what's the story? You still writing it?

I don't think we'll ever get that story!! :roll:

Hehe, those Raleigh forks were indeed Rex Trimnell ones, titanium indeed. I was lucky enough to see the first proto type ones he put on his son's Alex's Klein Rascal...supa light...

Great Plymouth pics...is that Richard Thackery on the Pace RC200 with Tioga Disk Drive?
