Classic funky. My Sun Manx tt .

That's awesome, I nearly bought one if these at the Preston jumble years ago, kinda regret it now.

Along similar (ish) lines are the Thanet Silverlight and the MKM ultimate.

The TJ Cycles Flying gate was always on my wish list

My Sun Manx tt has horizontal rear drop outs . It is the only one I know of with this type.
Apparently ony 200 Manx tt were built , I do not know how ture this figure is .
A lovely lugless one came to market a few years back . Again a one off as far as I know.
Turned down a Tj flying gate a couple of years ago . £200 was a fair price.
Sadly by then I had purchased a replica, which turned out to be poorly executed .
It is still awaiting to be built .

A Joe Cooke jug has always been on my wish list .

I cannot believe someone is using those heavy PMP cranks on a TT bike (or on any bike for the matter). Those things never made any sense to me (although I understand the science involved), but they do look interesting if nothing else. Did they ever suffer from cracking/breaking at the bend?

I did my PB’s using them & loved them
