    As an aside, Paul at Striking Bikes in Gloucester is a bit of a Rotrax fan. I think he worked there. If you are local pop in and try and stop him talking.

    Rearwheel gear/fixed - how to change from gear to fixed?

    Re: It should be remembered that time trialists really only started using gears in the mid 50s. I was on 10 speed and tubulars for most riding by 1950. Here is some transport from 1957, Western Road Club Bristol, the bike was Rotrax. I can name the miscreants. Keith

    Rotrax identification and year please?

    Re: Here's a copy of the 1955 Rotrax catalogue, they had a couple of complete cycles available. I've contacted Tim a couple of times and had a quick response of details including the month they were built. He seems very keen to keep the Rotrax heritage alive...

    Very early Saracen, or is it?

    Latest update. Tim Maund at Rotrax has tidied up the cable guide braze ons so it's off to the powder coaters as soon as I get the chance to drop it off. I gave it a go over with some fine wet and dry to get the worst of the oxidisation off and this weirdness happened, the ghost of Saracen...
