Re: Great tips there BigBlock. Thanks Spiders? Agreed, I am certainly wary but not necessarily scared as I can usually hear them coming. The fact they are about 4 feet across, wear a lot of studded leather and heavy boots makes them pretty easy to spot as well.

One Eyed Jim - Japanese....that's what I was hoping to hear! Not sure it's Centurion but I kept thinking it was Japanese and the serial beginning M (suggesting the Merida factory as well perhaps?) seemed to support this. I was given some conflicting advice here though so went chasing red...

Thanks for the link! Just was I was looking for as there is a whole new library of builders over here. Much appreciated Sully

Hi All Over in Melbourne at the moment and salvaged this lightweight tourer with shimano 600 chainset and lots of japanese components. Everything shimano is date stamped for '78. Any ideas who the maker is?? http://s666.photobucket.com/user/Sulleb ... 8%20Tourer Many Thanks Sully

My ad on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131838914531 I gave up smoking a week ago (it's just sooo 2015) so still a bit discombobulated and have written a rubbish ad but..... It's very rare and I will update the ad when my brain reappears. Thanks Sully

Re: One more from me for the 80's 501 Raleigh fans: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131821054872 Probably not quite as clean as it appears in the photos but no chips and just some light scratches. Love these!
