Ok then. I'll throw my hat in the ring. Number 94 of a batch from 1991. I hope you like it. I certainly love riding it.

awww Bless! :)

Nice work fella. We share a deep love of the O.

Maybe I will. Not sure if it's been done before but certainly not to this standard! might need a more in-focus photo.

I'm refurbing one the same at the moment, but the spec wont be anywhere near as good as yours! Gotta love that wheel!

Yeah, Jimmy Savile is pretty weird, but i'm sure most people from Leeds, like me will look on him with some affection. Like a funny uncle.
