Hello Peter, Don't forget the Greensport Nomad these were a lot more poular with the CTC lads and lassies than the Sartor. Think you can still purchase Sartors but from non cyclist sources, plenty of the Brits on the list are Saga aged and should be able to help in your quest. Greensport did theirs in colours towards the end red blue and bottle green. Reynolds and Pete Salisbury shoes are still available. Mick Butler Hunts old enough for all this kit now!. UK.
