Ah, very nice - I have a similar frame in white that sadly has a crack where the seat tube meets the bottom bracket. Going to look into repairs for it though as it's very pretty! Mine is Columbus Altec 2. I did email Alan for more info, but got no reply.

That sound like it just needs a new tube and repaint shame though .

A nice simple repair for a good framebuilder and about £80 - 100 plus paint i would suggest

I am vaguely thinking about buying this and putting it on my top tube (at a slight angle) so that I can transport my curling brush around!! :

That, supplemented with a couple of small leather buckled straps to make sure, should work a treat!

I presume this is actually for a motorcycle, but it would be interesting if it was actually for a bike..... Does anyone know?:

Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland all had bicycle licences like these, I think it was the late 70s when they stopped being used, although the Swiss went on with them to the late 80s.

I should have looked that up but forgot all about it, so thanks, that is interesting!

Maybe a system here would appease some drivers....

They got rid of it for a reason!

What was that if tou don't mind me asking?

Not being enforceable?? Why, just get the Police to stop anyone ON THE ROAD without a plate, etc etc.

In Belgium (according to my relatives) it was mainly about cost.
