[CR] Fying Gates

If anyone is interested in acquiring a TJ Flying Gate there is one being offered on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FLYING-GATE-TREVOR-JARVIS-23-25inches-CtoT_W0QQitemZ6585492920QQcategoryZ69825QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem This is the wonderful modern version of the 1936 W&R Bianes VS37 or Whirlwind. These modern Gates were very popular with British time triallist's in the late 70's and early 80's, they even sponsored a professional UK/Belgium team TJ Cycles-Glemp and the great British rider Bob Cary rode for them. They also made tandems and tricycles the axle was also made by Trevor Jarvis. The Gate design works very well as a tricycle and makes a good stiff tricycle frame. They are still being made today and unlike a lot of the modern British makers they have a very good informative website. http://www.tjcycles.co.uk/ Other equally interesting SWB British classic frames of a similar design are the Silver Meteor Hackney London, Waller Kingsbury and Kingsland London, Betrand Solite Tandem Finchley London. No connection with ebay seller or TJ Cycles but an admirer of a British KOF who still manufactures a design classic.

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