    There's lads cycling to the All-Ireland on Sunday from Kilkenny on High-Nellies, I'll ask around and see if any of them will be for sale afterwards.

    I woud do a sportive on mine if I could get the brakes anyway acceptable for group riding. Those rod brakes really are useless. I also need to replace the pedals as one snapped off a few weeks ago.

    Didn't Mick Murphy do part of An Ras Tailteann on a High Nelly in 1958, the year he won it? I presume "the ordinary bicycle" referred to below was a High Nelly, or similar.

    But disaster struck when his bike failed on the run into Glanmire. He was at a stand-still and the field swept by and disappeared from view. Suddenly a farmer appeared at a gap holding on to an ordinary bicycle. This gave Iron Man an idea, and in a jiffy he was on the substitute, leaving a startled farmer behind holding another bike.

    Hi folks, just clearing out the sheds and saw your thread... We have two original 1950's high nellies for sale in the Meath area. Still in good working order, just need to be cleaned up. If interested please email me on laura.mcguire2@gmail.com
