What colour is the WHW headset fella?

Black. Did them in all the usual colours apparently including gold. Seem a half decent headset with a type of bear trap locking washer

The walens was a tidy thing and worth what he was asking if you wanted one but we were thankfully distracted pulling skids on the the electric bikes the bloke had lying about for test rides

Obvs, I’ll be going for a pick around Alan’s stock room in 2048, hope he’s fitted a Stannah by then.

I think a daytime series on Channel Five is imminent!

Great work, gents, and a fascinating read, from start to finish.

oldschoolace · « **Reply #118 on:** August 29, 2018, 09:47 PM »

A mixed day was shaping up to be a bit of a bust. Started to think our new cohort may be a jinx

One shop saved the day! The old boy left us rummage though everything he had and his wife was good enough to show us round a little museum of cycling they had mothballed. Super interesting day, some good laughs and good finds!

Honourary badge and T-shirt in the post Ant. Most welcome along any time mate

Still loving that light rider aerial

oldschoolace · « **Reply #121 on:** September 03, 2018, 10:19 PM »

With a belly fully of maccy dee's our intrepid duo set of again to more far flung fields. Again 1 bike shop saved the day with a raft of stuff. We left tons behind including nos 80's boxes of Vision streetwear high tops, SR BB's, at least 1000 various stickers inc Haro, Grab on and action bike magazine as well as akisu forks and a load more RL Osbourne garms, elbow pads, gloves more holdalls

oldschoolace · « **Reply #122 on:** September 03, 2018, 10:21 PM »

We also found a couple of these. Stem pads made from a folded and riveted section of bmx tyre. Guessing they are mid school?
Any ideas lads?

Wayne Croasdale connection with Nomura?
