Late last year, I mentioned that I was looking for a source of lightweigh t, classic, one-man cotton tents for a forthcoming coast to coast ride (in England and Wales, not the USA!) on 1930's touring bikes. I had some very helpful and friendly advice from list members as usual, and while I 've not yet found what I'm looking for by way of shelter, a couple of wee ks ago, I acquired the transport I propose to use on the journey, an ea rly 1930's Evans tourer. For anyone interested, photos are on:

I've added explanatory text to some of the pics, for which you need to cl ick on each photo. Not all have text, so it's a bit hit-and miss, I'm afraid.
