Class! You've a pair of belters there Ady. My last one (a Springer Spaniel) just loved finding a dead bird and rolling his shoulders on it. He loved the beach too.

I picked up these early 80's SE cruiser bars about 5 years ago so it'll be interesting to see how they ride compared to the Hutch bars that I have on my '82 Floval..
