    I think the wallpaper matches the bike perfectly.

    Saw the most amazing restored 1970s Moulton racing bike today in Church Street & Christchurch. The owner mentioned he had it resprayed by Mercian recently. If it's yours and you are reading this, please post a few photos. If you are one of the Old Velos gang, have you seen it?

    That's new to me Mercian Pro - would love to see it also. This is my last Saturday night contribution to 70's cycling - 1978 Gazelle Mondial Champion. Cyclists, especially club cyclists, note the mudguards (and Doc Martin boot tongue as splash guard)!

    Keep an eye on the Oldvelos website and FB page as I think there are a few bikes to be posted there.

    That brings back great memories. One of my sons had one of those back in the day, mid 80s I reckon. His even had the Mag wheels as well.
    Thanks.

    Bringing on my PTSD now. All the rich lads had Burners, Strikers or Grifters while I had a 2nd hand Tomahawk with one white tyre...was like Angela's Ashes when I was growing up...

    I have one of those frames in the attic along with the illusive 25mm seatpost. Has some BB issues that I never got around to getting sorted, so remains a future build.

    Without red tyres and wheel decals it would have been much better. Still like it though, no nonsense racing bike.

    I've always wanted a Thorn, and I still may do it one day.

    Edit: how do you like the Cambium?
