Hi mate, No longer a bairn, he will be 15 next month but he is taller than myself, probably more mature than his dad as well. Jamie

We run an older Flying Scot tandem that we have had for a few years now. I bought it to ride with my son who is about to turn 15 next month. I think he was about 9 or so when we got it. It has gone through Kiddie cranks right through to where he is taller than me now. We don't use it as often...

Sunday the 10th of August seen myself and Caleb once again making the 900 odd mile round trip south to Stokesley for the annual Jack Taylor ride/get together. This year I was on the '83 Super Tourist while Caleb chose to ride his much loved Wester Ross. While my Super Tourist is always ready to...

Welcome to RBotM July 2025 - Open Month now open for entries. First off apologies for the late kickoff as have family stuff to take care of the last three weeks and have not really been online. Apologies. So with a late start means that you need to get yourself together quickly, take a couple...

OK have been offline for the last 3 weeks due to a family need and have only just manged to see this problem. My apologies. This one will stand due to time taken to even see the issue, the fact it was owned when entered. Not maybe everyone will be happy with that but the fairest I can see this...

H Lloyds do Andy McNeil decals, https://hlloydcycles.com/collections/andy-mcneil Jamie

Hi Steve Apologies as I just reread my post after reading yours and yes you are right, the last frames were the 70's I believe. My train of thought there was the green one looked like it had been updated and I was guessing around the 80's judging by the fitments and cable guides. Sorry, that's...

Hello again and thanks for the pics, they are really helpful. My opinion is they are both Andy McNeil frames. Agree that the green one looks a quite late one being mid 80's on the chrome one being earlier. I will try and get some of the older Flying Scot boys to have a look as they were all...

Well done and looks a great buy. Look forward to seeing it and remember there is a Jack Taylor ride/get together in August. :) Jamie

A couple of really nice frames you have there and it is very sad news that Nicholsons closed at the start of the month. My 1958 Flying Scot was originally sold by Nicholsons. Hard to tell from the photos but it looks like the green one has at the front top of the seat tube a small notch cut out...

Well, again I must apologize for the lengthy delays between updates. To be fair while it has been out and getting ridden since the last update, it hasn't been anywhere exciting other than commuting or local weekend runs. Not much difference this past weekend other than I wanted to try the...

Edited the second post to include the expected £350. Please read the rules before posting, the basics will be in a highlighted bar at the bottom of the screen, main one: all adverts need a price. Cheers Jamie
