My guess is it's the RetroBike equivalent of putting your towel on a sunbed before everyone is up - rather sneaky in my opinion: wouldn't have him under my command.

Oh you are silly Roadking. I just changed my mind and decided not to enter. Unfortunately you can’t delete a post.
Instead of casting aspersions, why not join in and enter something yourself?

The use of the idiom I suggest is incorrect: I was not suggesting you lacked integrity, nor was I criticising your character - I merely suggested you were being sneaky (humour), and wouldn't have sneaky folk under my command.

As i am silly (aspersion cast) it would be unwise to enter the competition: plus my bicycles are all a little left field for RB - perhaps not the Raleighs.

Nothing wrong with left field in an open month.

Too much waffle, not enough bikes.

I think you may be right

More bikes, less waffle

Re:

Another RBOTM ruined (or at least in limbo) cos of another playground spat. Now seems to be a regular occurrence unfortunately

Hopefully just a temporary pause otherwise might just delete a few of the non relevant posts.

Sorry all, I shouldn’t have been so defensive, please accept my apologise and Jamie, please delete the junk above including my first aborted post…

So, to get back to bikes, here’s my Majestic (again) now finally finished…honest!
Proper Sella Italia Anatomic (found and restored – not bought) and some Dia-compe/Weinmann combination levers with black Weinmann half hoods and black cable outers, oh, almost forgot, the "square" version of Ever-ready rear lamp

Re:

I will chuck another Claud Butler into the mix. 1950's fixed wheel .My first project before I joined RB . I first thought it was an Avant Coureur frame set , but later learnt it was a New All Rounder frame according to its date . The same lugs appeared on both models as I understand things.

Very nice, & it’s usually the Carlton’s that do the ganging up!
Do you have a build thread?
