In the old days you got someone to go down on the end of a rope and either paint over it or scrub it off. H&S and COSSH has put an end to that.
I have my new purchase out... Just a pedal up the road thus far, nothing quite so grand as @art b with his Londinium shots, but working on a plan with the van and bike.
Love this thread and the @art b pics. Having a looksee on ebay and elsewhere as me and the missus fancy a bit of this hinged cyclo cross business.
Took a leaf out of the books of @art b and @Ploptop2 and bought myself a 1975 Rekord folding bike in the same livery as the van today. Lovely bit of nostalgia but ride like a rabid dog. The bikes not bad either. Sorry there is no pic as no doubt someone will point out but IT is not my forte
