That's amazing! And I love that there are now two of these lovely bikes back on the road! Mine is a single speed, so far less fettling required, and I love the simplicity. It rides really well. I'm slightly jealous of your chrome, though - looks like it's cleaned up really well. And I could do...

Ahhh! I saw that come up for sale - I was wondering who might have bought it! What are your plans? Mine is now back on the road - took it for a first spin last weekend. Still needs a few tweaks, but I'm happy with how it's looking - especially the decals and pinstriping which I managed to...

Thank you so much! You've just made my day. I was beginning to think the trail had gone cold... The photos have come through perfectly - it looks to be in amazing condition! I will message the museum and see if they'd be happy to supply some additional images. I really appreciate you taking...

Here she is...

Hi Keith, The bike is complete and all original as far as I can tell - well-used, but mechanically fairly sound. The frame was probably the worst bit. I'll see if I can track down some good photos. It's a lovely bike, certainly worth putting back on the road... David

Hi all, I fell in love with a 1950 BSA Gold Column in a junk shop in Lincolnshire. The frame was in pretty rusty, so I've had to strip it back and repaint. I'd love to get it looking like it used to, but am struggling to get my hands on the correct decals (or, indeed, some hi-res images from...
