I have one of the oddballs - the curly hellenic triangle retrofitted to a Vade Mecum (it is a '54 also). Mick Butler may be able to determine whether Tom Board did the conversion sometime in the '70's if he catches up with him one of these days.

It traveled to the 2002 Cirque; nothing discernible about the rear triangle in this photo:

\r?\n> web site. Flash (Mr. Flash to you? ;) notes that, "The hellenic design

\r?\n> was straight, but three odd-balls are known to exist. One has a curly

\r?\n> hellenic triangle retro-fitted to a Vade Mecum. Another, shown here, is

\r?\n> a one-off half-curly. A third curly-hellenic was special ordered in the

\r?\n> late 1990s."

\r?\n> Does the Hellenic or the Curly ("Vibrant") have any effect on the ride?

\r?\n> I'll leave that for others to debate here on the list.
