Hi all,

How old i now feel.

If my mother couldn't find me - she knew to call the bike store being that i was a junkie and inexorably drawn to its offerings.

Back in '71 i first realised the bonus of mobility but that bonus also obscure's what could have been fastback seatstays on my fixed gear. As some of you may spot i was very early to adopt the new style aero Sidi's, disc wheels and a team kit to offset the superb paintwork. The subtle headbadge is also of a style long forgotten. Classic content? (very content).
