| Extra details | I wanted
to re-create the bike I raced on in the 50's. I couldn't get
hold
of a JRJ frame so when this W & M ('Ticker') Nidderdale frame
came
along I built it with all the appropriate parts I had collected.

Drive with Huret Tour de France rear changer which I preferred as it was a simpler gear
