Subject: [CR]New pictures up on wooljersey

After some time I have once more added some pictures to the wooljersey

gallery.

Before anyone considers looking at them it should be noted that my photography skills are abominable. Also none of the bicycles depicted in the gallery, including those added today, are for sale, neither are

any of their parts, nor is the flowery printed bedsheet which doubled as a backdrop.

The URLs are http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/theilmeit/Fattic and .../Rob.

They show snaps of a ca. 1976 Doug Fattic racer which has one of the lightest frames I have ever seen. Doug himself has identified the frame

as one of his earliest and actually tipped me off where to find it, for

which I´ll remain in his debt for a pretty long time. I am in the process of building it up with light parts, for the help with which thanks are due to Wayne Davidson and some other, non-CR friends, for making available or actually manufacturing weight weenie bits. I picked

up the frameset last December together with a hoard parts from a cycle

shop in Wiesbaden, Germany, which is not far from Rhein-Main USAF Airbase, which I guess was the frame´s port of entry to Germany. If there should be anyone able to make more precise remarks on the frame´s

history I´d be grateful to hear from them. Now the bike looks remotely

presentable, but still a little shocked. I hope my son will grow into it soon to be able to ride it.

Also there are some truely horrible photos of a ca. 1978 Chas Roberts in 27"/67 cm c/t frame height. This beast might look huge to you, for me it´s just about right, and so I was very grateful when I got it from Hilary Stone, I think even through CR. The poor thing must have been left out in the open for some time, and looking at it you will instantly realize why there are so many disused aircraft being stored in Arizona, and so few in England.
