Thanks for the nice comments, Mick and Bob. Restoring the Scot for Alex was

one of the more fun projects I've done. He was so appreciative and enjoys t he bike a lot. And he is my kind of restorer - one who rides his bikes. He i s 76 now and riding strong. May he live to be 100. I am in the process of restoring a nice Paris Tour de France obtained from Mick this year. Hopeful ly it will be a looker like the Scot. But I will definitely look forward to ridin g it! Still looking for that nice restorable Scot in 21 1/2".

Bob, Bob Freeman has done a stunning job. One of the best and smartest I have seen, spot on period wise and very sympathetic. Shame he is not on our side of the pond I have some frames I would like him to weave his magic on, sure he would do them credit.Loathed to get them done here as I am not that impressed by the enamellers here except for Gerrard at C&G.

Best wishes Mick Butler Hunts. UK. PS. I was going to start this Bob Bob but it sounded too much like Bob Maxwell (Captain Bob).
