Yes, now, two trains are 60 miles apart, one travelling at 73 mph, the other at 57. What did the drivers have for tea the night before?

Beans.

I only own a couple from 1996 currently. I hope this will change very soon.

Our oldest is a 1974 Carlton, a whippersnapper compared to some already listed here

My dad has a bike built on an Ellis Briggs frame he bought second hand in about 1961 that he thinks was from about '55. Its his only bike and still works fine, very well looked after. It did have a load of Campag parts, but some got replaced with cheapy stuff in the '80s. Im just about tall enough to get on it (he's 6'4), but im too worried about breaking something to give it a test ride.

I have a Moulton mini automatic in need of an overhaul which I think is from the 60s. More specific I cannot be at the moment and I include in my guess a 50% margin of error.

 

[DCLane]

The 'lethal impact' bike - which is a 1986 Ammaco Tony Doyle bike that's been re-built

 

[Spokesmann]

1958 Carlton Constellation - with all chrome 531 frame.

 

[Drago]

1978 Elswick Hopper Chinook, then 1996 Alpinestars ASR-140.

After crimbo I fancy an olde British 3 speed for a possible bit of path racer tomfoolery.

 

[Carlton Flier]

1959 Carlton Clubman Capella Lugs & 531

I have a Moulton Mini - 1960 (I think) which was the year I was born! My daughter has just grown out of it!
