They made Pump Pegs including the "Dawes" patent pattern, tapered seat stay eyes, brake eyes, gear tunnels, rear and front ends with hangers and without. They even made vertical rear drop-outs in the every early 1950's. Cyclo did chainwheels, cranks, gears, pedals, braze-ons and tools. The last in both workshop quality and for the home mechanic. Finally not so much of the impoverished Brits you try telling that to one of the Rolls Royce owning North Road CC members who use to ride out to the start of time trials with their Cyclo sprint wheel carriers. It was common British practice to do this in Great Britain but the some of the "North Roaders " had their chauffeurs waiting at the finish to drive them home in their Rollers or other expensive motors.

Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
