Great link. This correspondant (aka the Angry Asian in another life I believe) has done a couple of good retro themed pieces. Think he maybe registered here too.

Nice link John - and an interesting bike. I wonder who actually built it, I can't see Huffy doing it!

I've got a couple of those Avocet wheel sensor rings in my spares box.

Perhaps they'd like to buy one for an extortionate amount :twisted:

thanks for the heads up, great read.

edit : ned, the link is to the photos. If you click on the related article, it tells you about it, incl who built it. youre right it wasnt huffy - leave it to you to read

Thanks for that, I'd not noticed the link back. Surprised to hear that a Serota frame failed but, as it says, it was probably a duff set of tubing. I recognise the Land Shark name but not sure if they're still building?

It's just the right size for me, do you think he'd swop it for one of mine?

Credit to fritzlite for the original link.

Interesting regarding the serotta's failing. Not sure if 'land shark are still building'.
