Hi there, Some gret items on ebay at the moment: 1. George Longstaff tricycle real craftsmanship but a pity it's a TWD. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/George-Longstaff-Tricycle_W0QQitemZ280027398729QQihZ0 18QQcategoryZ97029QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

2. Hetchins I think pre-war Straight Brilliant with Russ pattern forks. So much better than a Curly. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/George-Longstaff-Tricycle_W0QQitemZ280027398729QQihZ0 18QQcategoryZ97029QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

3. Claud Butler (Holdsworthy) 1960's Coureur in what appears to be original condition. This is the sort of bike we all had as club youngsters here in the UK when in our early teens. Mine was the chaeper Challenge model. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLAUD-BUTLER-1963-SUPER-COUREUR-racing-bike_W0QQitemZ 270026602580QQihZ017QQcategoryZ69825QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

4. T.J.Quinn ladies Mixte. A great Liverpool builder along with Harry Quinn, Walvale, Fothergill and who was the one who built with lugs to rival Hetchins? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLAUD-BUTLER-1963-SUPER-COUREUR-racing-bike_W0QQitemZ 270026602580QQihZ017QQcategoryZ69825QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

5. Wolsit have had a quick look on CR and the net and can't find much out about this make? Looks real class and my favourite out of this yummy lot.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-WOLSIT-1950s-FRAME-LEGNANO-FREJUS_W0QQitemZ2 70029156258QQihZ017QQcategoryZ56197QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Plus the Dayton for sheer novelty appeal.
