Hi, Peter---
Thanks for the link. Never tire of seeing that film. I watch it once a week. Don't forget the blue Phillips Vox Populi, the one frame name you can really see well as it wheels off just after everyone checks their pedals and toe-clip straps.
As to "those wacky Victorian sewing machine do-dads on their [Dawes} mudguards," one man's wacky is another man's wonderful! :-)
Cheerio,
