I think it was yet another St Etienne bike boom bike called an "All in All Its Just Another Brick in the Wall." Liege tubing of course. Only made in 60+cm sizes to ensure the down tube was long enough for the transfer. I've read that bike name was where Page and Plant got the lyric for the song. ;-)
