Just seen this on EBay - my goodness, my dream frame Edit and now read your post - sorry to hear about your health

I recently read The Lie of the Land which was an eye-opener

Just bought this for the bottle - 'Perfume Bottle' Tomintoul Glenlivet - don't know whether to drink it or splash it all over! Also bought a few bottles that reminded me of the good working days at Oddbins, Glenfarclas, Glenrothes etc but couldn't afford some that were cheap then but...

I have no doubt, no offence, not had real ones pass through the auction house, probably the most copied chair along with the Barcelona

Lots of great stuff - didn't think this thread would gain much traction :cool:

Real ones? :-0

And it will likely never be cheaper to buy - we have had stunning pieces of Georgian furniture hit the hammer for peanuts, it tends to get bought and shipped to SA or USA

Nice collection - we have a view pieces by Gunther in at the moment, along with White and Newton. Values have changed quite a bit, even G-Plan is attracting good money now.

Sadly it's dawning on me that restoration will not be possible - the seat and back were formed by cold-foam mold to achieve their shape - no longer available. 😢

Finally bought my first piece of MCM, granted it needs some restoration but given that its 65 years old its in quite remarkable condition. Oswaldo Borsani P40 Lounge Chair produced by Techno, the company he and his brother founded.

My Touring has had a swirl flap delete and stage one - incredible difference in terms of power and delivery, apparently 245bhp and 500nm now. Fun :)

Rust worm definitely is a thing and that could be it -anyone with experience of older steel frames could have experienced this - like veins under the paint. Hard to tell from the image though.

https://rotorbike.com/en-uk/uno-electronic-mtb-upgrade-kit.html looks interesting-suitable for 10 speed+ cassettes so almost retro fit

Fabulous - any images of it now with the Ti fork?

Ooo...I do like that...for £1500
