The first trophy I ever won racing was on my KZ framed Nova....



... so it seemed appropriate to shoot the replica and the actual trophy together finally - 30 years in the making almost to the month I reckon!

It's no show pony but I love it! So many good memories... and a few trophies to boot. It got me up to Expert class bitd...



This is what I love about this hobby.

Nice that..... the Skyways are my rider wheels, but they still have the serial number on the front braking surface.

But I also have a set of Speedlines, and HF hubs ready to build up once I get round to doing the resto.
