Subject: [CR] Planet Pintail


Hi

Browsing the CR archive I've found some comments from both Norris Lockley and Hilary Stone regarding Planet Puma cycles. I've just won a Planet Pintail on ebay and would like to know more before deciding how to restore it. It looks like a typical club frame, is made from Ackles & Pollock Kromo tubing with Nervex Pro (or something very similar) lugs. It has a nice metal headbadge stating it was made in the Tildesley Cycle Works in Birmingham. Internet searches have yielded nothing at all and the only other reference I can find is some salesman's samples in the National Cycle Museum. Does anyone out there know anything about these frames or Planet in general?
