*Hi to all my illustrious friends and fellow cycling enthusiasts on the mailing list 'To'* ** *Is there anyone who can help me complete a build-up of a 1954 machine lacking ONE vital component?* ** *I need a NOS or excellent condition Bayliss & Wiley Featherweight fixed cup (British thread). For those who may not know this is a lighweight version with hexagonal or octagonal (can't remember) flats. This is the only missing item to finish off the machine. I can't bring myself to use an alternative short-term and remove all the components should I find one later.* ** *I feel sure that there is someone who will have a spare lurking in their bits boxes. There is a major prize for the winning entrant!!* ** *Please help in my quest, for which I will be eternally grateful. Full renumeration for said item, including postage it must be said.* ** *Many thanks for any forthcoming help.*
**
*Kind regards*
