Chris,
I just recieved a beautiful set of transfers for my Raleigh Clubman last week. I have had good luck with written correspondence in dealing with Nick. I follow the payment recommendations in his website, stick a wad of bills in an envelope, and the transfers always show up a couple of weeks later!

have decided to offer one of the rarest saddles I know as a pre-ebay
offering to all CR subscribers.The very rare Brooks B18. This remarkeable
piece of velocipedal nostalgia was hand sculpted by North Country dwarves
from the finest British polymers available in the early Thatcherite period.
The model I'm selling is the even rarer than usual 'custom' model with the
widened screwdriver slot in end of the adjuster bolt and is in the much
sought after shade of very, very dark black. The winged Brooks logo has been
subject to extensive road rash (which in the business we refer to as the
patina of age) but there is no problem with rivets pulling out as the top
has been cunningly moulded onto the rails - and of course there is no awful
alloy cantleplate to break. Sold with a 26.7 (was 27.2 until it got stuck in
a frame) alloy seatpin. A fine addition to any budget1980s bike. Anyone
restoring a bike with a moulded-on chainguard and a worn-out pair of
Weinemanns will be in seventh heaven with this item! Tenderised buttocks
from a Unicanitor? The rough moulded surface on this one will cause so much
friction it will fry your ass!

worth getting my hands dirty when retrieving it from the bin. The trouble is
that postage will cost you 15 dollars. No jpegs available. Just shut your
eyes and think nostalgically of dear old England.

them transfers over here, matey) for most British bikes and a few others are
available from Nick Tythecott at H. Lloyd Cycles in Penrith England. He now
has a website: http://www.lloydcycles.co.uk which lists about 500 designs from A.J.
Hodge to Whitcomb and everything inbetween. He claims to have every Claud
Butler transfer that ever existed and most Hetchins.The catalogue is a
little wide to print, but there are details to send for a printed version
which includes pictures.
