Now, there's a Rotrax (early/mid 50s if I recall correctly) for sale near me. Worth a punt at around £300? That would swell the numbers.

Hi Scooter I'm in Southampton and see recently you had a Rotrax powder coated and I'm wondering if you could pass the contact details on? Cheers Bud

...pile. The guy is asking £300. No offers. Given it will need a complete sympathetic (expensive!) restoration is this a reasonable price? I should ask him to free it from the rest so I can read the frame number to ask Rotrax about. Any advice welcome, including anything mentioning a bargepole!

...anything but i prefer patina over shiny bikes =) I really like 60s/70s british frames, with fancy lugs and thin fork blades. For example old Rotrax frames are very nice! I missed a bright red Rotrax frame my size on ebay about 6 months ago and now im really sorry about it hah! I had just...
