Subject: [CR]Sighted at the New Zealand Track nationals

A few vintage gems seen in action this week at the Enzed track nationals:

Carlton Flyer with original paint 'n chrome, plus another possible Carlton repainted & plastered with Suntour Superbe stickers which are retro memorabilia in their own right.

Masi, repainted but tidy. Resurrected from someones shed this year thanks to the reopening of Wellington's Hataitai Velodrome. I'll report on serial number etc if I can find it again.

Lugless, Tange Aero tubed frame left over from the early 80s. The blue anodised Sugino BMX cranks suggest it's currently being pedalled by someone half its age...

And to brag a bit- on Monday my partner Donna Wynd knocked a second off the Masters 40-44 500m TT record, riding her sub-Bayliss-sized Benson sprint bike. On Topic hardware abounds, including the last Brooks saddle to be ridden at the Olympic Games (1996, honest), and the same pair of steel Record track pedals that she's used since 1989.
