My auntie lived in Rhos on Sea so we used to ride over every day and hang out there. (Not me and my auntie, me and my mate!!) :D

Post by: workshyfop on June 10, 2012, 01:18 AM: 88 serial was the reason I stated its an 88.5. 87 actually had ad mounts, 88 not. Only on team frame sets for 88. You should have noticed the lack of chrome back end , that's why its an 88.5. Only got to look in the 87 and 88 catalogue to be able to see which ones have which differences...........

Definateley Llandudno Brett. It was on Mostyn Broadway near B&Q and the Total Petrol Station. :daumenhoch:

Just found this photo on the net.....you can see Great Orme in the background. It's where the swimming centre is now.
The chimney you can see is on the back of The Hydro Pavillion.
