On that note, you can get a gelato that's made in Selly Oak

Ah! So that's what happened to Valentine Page's old office - I've often wondered.

Finally trying out a helmet chin guard camera mount, now that I've got the optimum angle of dangle sorted out. I've been putting off doing this for a while in the belief that the weight (sorry, mass :D ) of the camera would make the helmet more unwieldy, but actually I have no clue it's even there. Can't feel it at all. Only slight issue, is turning to look rearwards, brushing it on a shoulder. This is the occasional loud scraping noise in the video.

Shrawley (nr Worcester) to Avoncroft Buildings Museum, 26 minutes, 4th May.

The bike looks good Dave.
The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Ta both, yep, very pleased with the way its turning out. Such a lovely bike to ride. The tank was an eBay find, its actually the correct colour that the bike left the factory with so later this year I'll spray the toolbox lids and chain guard the same 'polychromatic burgundy' colour.

I woont that woon perhaps minus the tin switch on the left handlebar. But I suppose it’s what they had so it would have to stay for patina value.
