Wow, ljc, you would like to meet some of the old boys that come into my bike shop in Edinburgh (I'm a mechanic). We service a few vintage bikes - there's a chap with an old Hetchins Curly who comes in quite often.

Just for something different, here's a picture of my bike, or at least an idea of it... the frame's the same but since I built it up out of the remains of the previous bike with assorted new bits, it's not like the stock bikes any more.
