Hi Neil
As I joined the V-CC in 1986 I should have a copy of the Boneshaker in question in my archive. So before you despatch the Petrel to Dr Williams I can take some photocopies of both the magazine and the entry in Vol III of the Lightweight Cycle Catalogues and let you have them for inclusion in the package, if it helps. I may even have some literature in my archive on Joe Cooke I could copy, I would need to check to see what I have. Are you planning to attend the Reading Ride this year? I could bring them with me. Or is the frame likely to go before then?
Regards Derek Athey Honiton, Devon UK
