Bickerton Portable

[skinnyboy]

No idea where to put this so I guess it can stay in here for now. Just scored my next little project

Bickerton Portable, still with the plastic on the mudguards! Will post up some new pics when i get my sweaty hands on it.

Has LGF got one of these, I reckon he would have.

looks to me it has some sort of folding device near the end of the tube
(i say tube (ecluding down or top) as it only has one!)

i think you could turn that into a sort of recumbent without too much
messing about

But then again.Why would you want to:?

i love portable bikes!
so much more practical than fixed position bikes!

They're classics! Brilliant choice.

There are precious few road bikes that can match the weight of a Bickerton. A bit wobbly though.

A bit wobbly though.

Beat me to it...

The front wanders away from the back, and it's pretty disconcerting as you try to correct it all the time through impulse...

Would look good painted

funny you should mention about painting it. I've started polishing the aluminium and getting the parts in I need, such as new Hermans cork grips a San Marco Regal saddle in Honey, some Jagwire silver cables and some funky MKS pedals, BUT the main frame has been calling to me in my sleep "paint meeeeee" Now what colour would you chaps recommend? Part of me wants to go a deep royal blue, or even ASBO orange... with Gil's mastery of graphics of course..

As she sits at the moment, my likkle Bikky

Graphics wise is was thinking something like this, with a union jack in the "I"

done a bit of potatoshopping and i reckon Antwerp/Airforce blue would be bloody British enough damn it!
