Hi all, went to see a friend of mine today who is moving house and who said he might chuck some bits and pieces out if someone didn´t take them off his hands. What then happened was that I filled a whole Citroen 2CV Truckette full of fifties, sixties, and seventies stuff, ranging from the utterly boring up to hardly used Record Pista components, and was thanked for taking the stuff away. The exact words were, "well, imagine that, all that old stuff just cluttering up the garage and here´s someone who enjoys it so". There´s still some unbelievably nice people about.

Anyway, the chap also gave me the remains of a Mercier, the frame in its second coat of paint and again scratched beyond recognition (he was a good amateur racer, both road and track), with a Shimano D/A ax chainset with the strange pedals, early D/A brakes and an Edco headset. Bearing in mind that the bike has seen heavy use, what do I do with it? Scrap it? Does anyone want it?

Thanks for letting me know your opinion. Have a nice New Year,
