@non-fixie Love a nice Raleigh. That has real potential.
@Gtpulse You make me feel normal some gorgeous bikes there.
Keep them coming gents. Always great to see.
@Frankenorange You are the designated cultural officer, feel free to share what piques your interest. If it's English it's in.

Isn’t this normal then?!
I just love bicycles!

Another British machine with the man who started it all for me - my Grandad - must be late 1940s, he’s stood with the Hetchins he had made for him. Must have been a huge purchase for him as I think he was a farm labourer at the time.

Yes it's entirely normal, especially as Jo reads this. Great picture of your Grandfather. Running fixed by the look.
