Hi All
Way back in the mid 60’s I persuaded my dad to buy the above bike in Florentine Silver/Venetian Red. Even then it was an expensive bike, especially for a teenager not working whose only income was a paper round. Eventually after much pestering my father took on a HP agreement on the condition that I repaid him at £1 a week. Unfortunately the bike was stolen after just two weeks, and I had to continue paying my dad for the bike for another two years, my next bike was a tip job, and my first ever solo rebuild job.
As so few of these bikes were produced I wonder do any of the members have one? I would naturally love to see one now, and of course I would love to be able to make a RH my next project if I ever got the chance. We can still dream even in old age!
