I'm probably alone in the whole world here but I think Hetchins names are too pretentious for a bike. Just like their lugs, in fact. Reminds me of that scene in Fawlty Towers where the guy says, "Pretentious? Moi?"

I've been speaking to a lad who was telling me about a 1950s J. T. Rodgers (Leeds bike shop and possibly framebuilder) machine called the Planet Puma. Now that's a name for a bike! If anyone can shed some light on the Planet Puma, please give me a shout.
