Hi Paul, thanks for the ONLY reply, though having seen the proposed on gold decals in my local pub and the Tee shirt designs, orders are arriving and they are  from Non bike riders. Yes you are correct, have you sussed the crossed spanners yet? I designed that for my race car mechanic 40 years ago and the logo was very popular, especially amonst drivers who had a reliability problem. I am s erious about the project, [yes, despite rumours, I CAN be serious at times], I have a great unidentifialble superb lugged track bike that Im building and a great Italian style 70s frame ditto. I also have a Pedal Force carbon frame, called the Ribble here, which according to the recent list of bike makers, deserves the title FKW and will wear same, after all, why should we advertise their products that we pay for when we dont know where they come from. Im serously haveing shirts and decals made and Ill let you know when they are ready. Im also having frames painted likewise. I was asked what is a " Muchness" when I mentioned the word in conjunction with Holdsworth. Ive never been asked and it is one of those accepted words that we never question, just use. But to me it means that the product is really not worth talking about. Did hyou here about the deaf and dumb guy? Walked into a bike shop, picked up a wheel a spoke....

Tol. d you I could be serious

Hi Barrie,

I'll venture a guess..."fuck knows what" ?

I have no mystery frames at present, but I might like a set of decals for when I inevitably come across one.

Thanks for keeping the list lighthearted!
