Meant to bring this to your attention this week but forgot. Thought it would have been right up your street as well:

Ah right. At the time I was thinking it was slight overkill for Bedgebury, but then that was probably just a bit of bike envy at play as I rolled by on my Kona Steely!

Very fine steed indeed - hope you get the chance to take it further afield!

Yep, Spicy at Bedgebury is a bit like taking a machine gun to a knife fight, but I'm still enjoying playing with the new toy Have taken it to Cannock, Afan and a Forest of Dean uplift day to stretch it's legs a bit so far, got a few more on the cards in the near future.

Didn't expect to get a compliment about it on this forum, just jokes about agricultural vehicles :P , so thanks !

They have the same model in Cycle Surgery in Victoria. It is a remake of the Holdsworth TdF model. Seriously attractive bike, even in orange.

Nice bike, but for that sort of money I'd pop along to that nice Mr Robert's place and get one made to measure, in a nicer colour. mmmmmmmmmmmmm....Roberts.....

My thoughts precisely, other than I would go see Mr Roberts' friend Mr Rourke instead.

Good God alive. Pretty bikes? Perhaps. Riders? F*cm me sideways! Was that the Strangeways club for the facially scary Athletic Club?

That is either a very unflattering photograph or the Adams Family on a healthy day out.

Ohmigosh what a team of total male munters

However, if this gets Raleigh to re-issue one of their red team bikes from the early 80s, then bring it on, 'cos they were total lush

This is even better, look at the team car - Ford Cortina Mark II 1600E Way hay!!
