Dave, In answer to your query about the Copal fix transfers. Ebay Item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOON-CYCLE-TRANSFERS-VARNISH-FIX-NICE_W0QQitemZ320036649101QQihZ011QQcategoryZ420QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Moon Cycle Company were located at 5 Stoke Newington Road London N.16. They were there for a good many years. Their heyday was the during the 1920's and 30's. Really popular lightweight builder and very cheap compared to the other makers, such as Betrand, Saxon, Carpenter, Merlin, Juno, Benetfink etc. Same spec and quality solo in a Moon was a lot cheaper than all the others and his tandems especially so. They were a very famous maker of the period. Astounded the seller knows nothing of them he can't have read any old Cycling's as these were full of adverts for Moon bikes. The chap did a wonderful job on the vinyl cuts and very close to the original thanks for the contact. ATB Joe. Croeso Cymru Joe King Nr. Maenaddwyn Ynys Mon Wales
