Hi Stuart,
Thank\u2019s for the reply. I tried that business link ages ago and just got some distraught young lady telling me that she is sick of people phoning her about bikes! She confirmed that everyone that calls her gets the number from the internet, but she neglected to tell me whether she now lives in the old bike shop!
It is a a great bike, and part way through a full bare metal restoration. I will pop up some pics on Picasa when its done. Here is what it looked like last summer

Thanks again,
Shaun
