Subject: [CR]Re: Need CR England Member Help - Problems Contacting H Lloyd Cycles

Hello,

I have sad news to report. H. Lloyd Cycles has been sold off to a new owner (now renamed Lloyd's Cycles) where Nick Tithecott is no longer associated with the shop, according to the new owner.

Consequently, the new owner now says, "Most of the old decals are gone," and implied they are unlikely to be reproduced again. The new owner asked me to post this message that Lloyd's Cycles should not be contacted by CR members in the future about decals as they are too busy to respond to messages. It is unclear at this time why the H Lloyd website below still remains when it is no longer in business.

Any comments from our CR members in England?

Regards, Steve :-( Neago aka Questor1
