Hi, I need a plastic bush that's part of the fork of my series 1 moulton. The bush slides up and down the serrated part of the fork engages with the steerer tube stopping the fork part turning independently of the tube. If you understood what I'm talking about and you have one, I'd love it...

Hi Terry, Thanks for your response. I'd had a look at the classic lightweights site. Loads of really good info but the serial number info on there isn't applicable in this case. The author talks about six and seven digit serial numbers, this has four digits, hyphen and then a single digit...

Can anyone help me identify this bike frame? I know only that it is an R O Harrison. I fell in love with the detail of the lugs when I was shown the frame. Could this be a bit special? Please help. I hadn't intended to do anything like a restoration with it but I think it would be a great...
