Hello @seren thats quite an entrance you just made be prepared for an avalanche of interest from one and all !

I remember those bikes. I think they were a blue/purplish colour with a picture of JA on the seat tube.

One of my club mates had one and another Merseyside rider with the same initials (JA). Met the latter on a training ride and I think he only bought it because he had the same initials.

Loking forward to the pictures.

Also looking forward to pics but doesn't seren have to make a few more posts before they can post photos? I seem to remember I had that problem when I first joined.

Sadly the seat tube decal is damaged.

Thanks. Yes I think that's the bike I remember.
Not a bad price either.

I was racing in the late 60's as well - which courses did you ride - mine were mostly D, J & L.

There is an orange JA hanging on a fence outside the village of St Pompon in the Dordogne at a 'bike cemetery'. Probably a bit far gone but the LF Campag Record hubs are still good. I expect Woodbutcher knows the place.

If I knew who owned them and my French was better I would see what was available.

Ron Kitching imported them into the UK IIRC, and I believe Beryl Burton rode one for a time.
