Greg: Not yet. I've got a new Digi camera coming and will be getting photos up a bit at a time on Yahoo.

I'll get photos up of the following first: 1951 Experto Crede curly unrestored (one owner cycle) 1951 Experto Crede Curly track bike 1962 Experto Crede Curly 1962/3 Experto Crede track bike

The Anglo is in England getting restored and will be ready for Cirque. The neat thing about the Anglo is that it comes with original sales slip and other papers from Hetchins. The Trio will be sent to the UK soon and the Super Special is on the way as I type. I was ready to sell the Super Special, but Len Ingram emailed and told me it was a keeper, as there are only about 21 on the register. The Trio is rare, as there were only six made, but they never got popular. Len wrote that only one other is known to exist in the UK. The Trio design was unusual in that it had a fluted seat tube, internal headset, flipflop rear wheel so the bike could be used as a three speed tourer or a single speed track bike. Origially it came with two fork, a straight for track and curved for the road. Only the curved fork survives, but eventually I hope to have David Miller make a repro of the track fork, as I have a Hetchins double plate fork crown. Peter Naiman Boston, Mass

I've had a lucky year in pursuit of Hetchins, but at this point the wallets a little light. Peter Naiman Boston, Mass
