I'm heading up Leicester way early next month to play old bicycles after dropping in to visit the CXM rally. I also have time to collect some other time in September as I'm off shift for at least half the month (as opposed this month when I'm only off Sundays). I could also pop over during Stratford the followimg weekend.

OK - not sure when I'll be able to drop it off in Leicester (actually Hathern, just north of Loughborough), as most times I'm back on the bike rather than in the car. Anyway, it'll get back there some time. I may have some other GS bits lurking. Definitely got some CX bits that are looking for a home if you know any CX people - Several original Cit exhaust boxes, a clutch, a couple of water pumps and some other odds and sods.

Plush case for that box of TISSUES , someone has has actually bought one :shock:

Back O/T The sport is the best of the bunch (Apart from the ugly towbar) IMHO. but would command a high price if it was ever for sale, note the built in high level stop light in the baby-walker spoiler 8)

Lovely. But can you really trust a BXer who lets his car's wiper arm get so rusty?

Hi Phil,
I thought exactly the same prior to your posting !

But look @ photo #2 (in the background/on the ground) It could actually be 'A BXer who let's HER car's wiper arm get so rusty' :wink:
