Re:
Had a bit of luck in June. A front drum brake came up for sale here. After some dim (on my part) paypal mistakes, I finally bought it, Thanks MarkS
Then...how to get it back from NW England to Sussex.
Fortunately, a relative lives in mid Wales, and on the promise of beer they collected it and passed through several hands when people met, down to me.
Fitted it up this week. I am hoping to give the profile of this bike an early feel, and hope to change the bars, stem, pedals and rear mech to make it feel prewar.
