Thanks to Hilary..It's just on cue.

Earlier in the week during contris about the Braithewaite Bros lady's bike...the name of Pongo Braithewaite, renowned builder of AENDE frames of Nottingham came up.

I mentioned that he was well known for his "tight" road and "testing" frames, and his paunchant for "drillium". Martin, up there at ClassicBikes put one to the List for sale..but Hilary has just placed one on Ebay at:

No 7204884053

So if you're wondering what Pongo's work was like...and if you fancy buying a piece of English frame-building folk-lore..nows your chance.
