I hope she's a good'un and she does you proud
NOS Campag is the way to go...
Thanks everyone, I hope a few more nice Zinns appear from cob-webbed garages and lofts so that a few more RBers can own one.
I'm really happy with just the one

Re: Zinn on ebay
Yeah I know - its finding the time to do it.
I also found a test on a Dave Yates 'Vulcan' and another on the Roberts eStay (Stratos?) That would go well on that thread - I'll try and get it done this weekend.

Mate listen if you havent got time and it will help, let me get it picked up, ill get it scanned for you and then sent back to you within 48 hours.
Its Valuable info like this that is needed, Especially when it comes to English Frame builders BITD.
I sometimes feel its only me that gives a shit...

Re: Zinn on ebay
I thought of you reading the Yates one - why do you think he called it the 'Vulcan'?
You have one guess......
....... hint it was one of the first UK e-Stays and a response to one of the first production US e-stays.......

Re: Zinn on ebay
Mate there is no need to Hint, i know what the Vulcan is........ :facepalm:
And there in lies the problem, if you do have it, you need to find the time, as i said in my previous post its valuable info, and as we discussed when we talked of putting the British Steel thread together via PM, so much is NOT known by me and so many its about time it was in the public Domain.
And whilst that one article may suggest it was one of the first to respond to the progress of the Americans.
I can assure you, the first call was to Chas Roberts, the moment this happened both Yates and Lloyd got wind and also pulled out all the stops.
And the rest they say is history.
The aftermath of this was the birth of the Acronym Bikes,.........The D.O.G.S B.O.l.O.X.....The D.O.N.K.I.S N.O.B.........and The C.A.T.S W.H.I.S.K.A.S.
of which i believe you have two already.......YOU LUCKY BUGGER.....................
And FWIW.
The Vulcan is "the blacksmiths GOD of Volcanoes and Fire". (a fitting name given the model and the builder i always thought.... :? )

Re: Zinn on ebay
I would love to see the Roberts article – and the Yates come to that. Could you get them on the BS thread as soon as you can mate.
I can't get enough of those Bristish eStays. Been looking for one for myself for ages :?
What year are the reviews from, do you know?
