Was the driver looking at the policeman in a funny way?
(sorry, I can't take all this daft discussion of rumour and "guidance" seriously. I'll leave you lot to work out the law between you ... )

I've not bought or sold bikes for a while but did collect a pair of wheels this week - Covid securely at a distance.
There will need to be bikes sold, and most likely collected, soon as I've no space.

David i really think you will never have enough space. Yes you may sell a few but same as myself and even what you said (most likely collected) space is a battle that we just can not win.

Must have been a second offence. Wouldn't have much sympathy in that case.
Possibly. The police are supposed to be employing 'the 4 Es': Engage. Explain. Encourage. Enforce. Plenty of folk get a bit arsey by the 3rd E and then wonder why they've been issued an FPN.
Anyway, as has been alluded to, if in doubt just be sensible and ask yourself if the goods/service purchase is needed (an n+1 is rarely going to be justifiable
). If not, don't go. Hardly rocket science.

Like the 100m q at McDonald's I've just seen? It's on a main road, I doubt it's invisible to the police 😄Anyway, as has been alluded to, if in doubt just be sensible and ask yourself if the goods/service purchase is needed (an n+1 is rarely going to be justifiable

I think the story was the Police stopped them and found they lived away so fined them £200 but the couple went on to pick the item up anyway so the Police fined them the second time as well £200. Expensive.. lol

True. I do normally have access to additional storage of up to 8 bikes. However at the moment I can't access it and emptied the storage last summer.

A BSA road bike in Coventry with a £10 starting bid. Looks usable.

Somehow the Ebay offer of £59 a month for two years doesn't make this beauty seem any cheaper!

Yes... and as soon as you have a space you will be thinking "I could get another bike in there"!

Stunning looking frame but as you say the price, wonder why if it was made this year why 531 tubing was used?

Good afternoon,
At first glance they seem to be on backwards. :-)
I don't think that I have ever seen front ends where the wheel exit point so much along the direction of travel, normally the exit is against the direction of travel or inline with the angle of fork, which is slightly along the direction of travel.
With the front of the drop out lower than the rear it seems to be setting the rider up for a fall if the front wheel is under tightened, jam on the brakes and the wheel effectively "rotates" anti clockwise and out of the frame.
Bye

What do you make of the drop outs on the front forks?
