Cliff Peters Cycle Shop, Aston. Any info out there on him?

Re: Re:

Ethel married Bernard Thompson the photographer. They lived near Maidenhead which is where I got to know them. She made super bread and cakes! Wednesday evening was an open house for local riders, especially the Hounslow & District which (I think) Bernard was a member of.[/quote][/quote]

And me! I used to go there when I lived in High Wycombe around '68/69. It was a nice ride over there especially in the off-season. Yes, Ethel's fruit cake and the thick chunks of bread and honey. Lovely!

BTW, the house is still called 'Snapper'. A nod to Bernard's photographic genius I presume.[/quote]

Old Ned did you know Paddy/Pat Frier from those times

I certainly did. Last time I saw him was when I went to Ghent with him and Pat Adams to see Het Volk around '92 ish. I think he had moved to the West Country by then?

Edit - BTW, I think his name was spelled 'Fryer'.
 
Re:

I remember seeing two matching tangerine coloured Cliff Peters bikes at the Worcester St John's road race around 1958/9. I'd never seen a finish like it. It almost seemed as though they were chrome plated with a transparent lacquer over them. Probably one of the most amazing paint jobs I've ever seen.
 
I have got a Cliff Peters track bike does anybody know the Year of the frame

Good evening. 2021 and lockdown enabled me to refurbish the Cliff Peters frame that Cliff, my father's cousin, supplied to me back in the late 1970s/early 1980s. I recall the frame was built by Barry Whitcomb of SE London. Fortunately I still had some of the original decals and Argos in Bristal did a fabulous spray job. On more Cliff Peters frame to renovate! This Cliff supplied to me in the early 1970s but I think it was an earlier build having Nervex lugs. I also in lockdown secured via the internet Cliff Peters shoe plates and sprint carriers! Best Brian Robertson
