I didn't realise A& P were part of Ti by 1953.

A&P was one of the companies that formed TI just after the First World War. Reynolds became part of TI about a decade later. The remains of A&P tube manufacture is now part of Tyco Tube in Oldbury.

It has been suggested I start a thread on British bikes. The thread name could be er better.

I asked the question. What cut off date? Modified, standard or catalogue? Any style, roadster, race, fixed, tour, audax, ATB? Hand built or mass produced? Restomod? The only answer I got was "Yes"....

Made in England? It's in. To start of some of mine.

Lets see what you ride and like looking at.

Edit, any photos that are yours and need credit or removing, please let me know.
