Hi,
Thanks for the comments, I'd like to think I'll be using it again but need to get myself a bit fitter beforehand...the last time I did actually use it properly was a charity ride from London to Paris but that was a few years back now (when lairy bar tape was all the go ..lol!)
Yes the stopwatch on the bars was a reasonably common thing to have at the time..I lost one through vibrations working it loose from the clip so that's the reason in the pic below that there is old tape around the clip "fingers"
I've got a whole load of newspaper cuttings from time trial results and road race results that I must find...also a team time trial pic from back then too..again I need to find that
Anyhow here's a closer shot of the stopwatch in place..
