Wowsers.......Thanet.

I guess this goes to show how much I have to learn about vintage desirable bikes!


Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332261631205

I think that is what is called "hope value"...

Re:

One good push on the pedals should be enough to finish it off.

It might survive very gentle pedalling, but I doubt it. As probably the last one alive who knows any truth about Thanet and Les Cassell I can assure all that this frame is total rubbish, H Stone loves them, but he wrote a book, and claims they are ridable.

I had the hugely expensive jigs, left one at Rotrax and abandoned the other when I moved the shop. For any serious rider these frames were very weak, one inch tubes and lugless construction... enough.

If anyone wishes to have more information let me know.

The front mudguard did look useable though.

Re:

I like them, a comfortable touring bike. And the last one I sold was a lot more than that.

Hmmm. H. Stone. I met him a few times at cycle jumbles - A painful reminder of everything that I loathed but was turning into.

Precious my precious!

I think I can recall hearing about some Turkish journalist getting jailed because he likened Erdogan to him ^^
