Joe Cooke Imperial Petrel

Steve, is this yours? http://www.paulusquiros.co.uk/#/super-r ... 4575158489

And if it is, could we have some gratuitous photos while I am waiting for you to restore the Petrel?

Goldie
Yes she is mine, I should really do a build thread at some point. I do have hundreds of pictures of Ruby. She is just over a year old and has already done thousands of miles. Still a joy to ride as she always will be. The whole experience of a bespoke bike has inspired me to create a brother for Ruby. Charlie will be a fixed gear bike built by me, for me, to commemorate my late father.

Ah ha! I thought that might be your handiwork. Yes, a build thread would be great. Ruby's a new bike of course, but the care and attention to detail that have gone into the build are exactly what retrobiking is all about. I have the issue of CA with the two page photo in there, which I regularly leave around the house in the hope that Mrs G will suggest that I need something similar...
