Subject: [CR]Oddity's on Ebay
Evening all,
Two oddity's on ebay the first is a Selbach tricycle:

This could well be a taper tube as most of Maurice Selbachs tricycles were. Jack Rossiter the famous record breaker, Century man and Raleigh pro got all his records on a TT Selbach. This is a real rarity and the last time I saw one of these trikes was in H.E.Morris's shop in Walthamstow in the 1960's. Mr. Morris's sister married Jack Rossiter and this was his famous record breaking tricycle. Selbachs and Buckleys are about the best two pre-war British tricycle makers.
The other is a strange pair of weinmann centre-pull brakes. What are these and what date are they please? Any good for a 70's/80's timetrial bike?
