The British bike thread

A Holdsworth Mistral set up as a fixed wheel jobbie - before I knew better... Oh, sprints and tubs too.

This was a lovely, stately ride

A callow youth "in action" - Dad never could pan...
Well that's the end of my British bikes oh no there's one more...

Recently acquired - the latest project. Going off for new paint soon. This really will be the last. I'll start its own thread when I get going (don't hold your breath)

That Sheffield Langsett restoration was a fantastic job @chickendrumsticks . Did you sell it on in the end? The Langsett Cycles shop is sadly closed now after 134 years – though they stopped making bikes a long time ago, as I recall.

Thank you. Yes, I was pleased with how it came out. And sold on to a forum member, as all of my projects have been - British and other. Never made a bean! But that's not the point is it? For me it is preservation and improvement.
