Good idea,like you say they're proud of helping Peaty, i remember looking on there website and there's a bit about how they helped him get started by sponsoring him.
That'd be brilliant on both things you mentioned,getting him to sign it would be unreal. My worry would be what if he wanted the bike back for his collection how could you refuse Peaty lol
Make him pay. Titanium and owned by Peaty must have some value...
Pm me if you’d like me to start trying to sort something. Maybe with some pics.
Will do mate, pics would be great because there's not alot of info out there apart from that photo and video on youtube of him racing it. It doesn't matter how many times i pause the video i can never get a clear picture of things like the race plate on the front so i can replicate it. Parts wise from what i can see it looks to be almost stock like a normal 93 Explosif so xtr/mavic back wheel, xtr rear mech etc. But it's the little details i want to get correct otherwise my retrobike ocd will get frazzled
Sounds good i'll definitely be sending a message, i wonder if your mate can remember the bike or actually worked on it back then. Maybe they can recall what spec Peaty had it, like seatpost/saddle etc and if there was any other Langsett decals on the bike like you see on his other ones?If you need any help with a Langsett Cycles connection.. pm me, my work address is a short walk away.
Langsett's owner has lived in Spain for some years after starting a cycle hire company there.. but the manager is my old school friend.. he started work at Langsett cycles after leaving school in 1989/90.. before the Supertram, back when they had a glass Pace cabinet with my drool running down it
We grew up on the same street.. he lived at number 10.. i lived at number 28 and between our two houses were numerous other kids who rode BMX..
