Hmmm.... Now that IS a good idea....

Mikku:
I reckon so! I've no idea of the practicalities and costs involved but you'd have a readymade market on here and if you could get some sort of tie-up with Birmingham BMX Club (are they in any way connected with Birmingham Wheels?) then you could sell it through them as well. Maybe Birmingham City Council would be interested too, preserving a bit of city heritage and all that, though I guess involving them would mean more red tape. Worth investigating me thinks!

PS Put me down for a first edition copy! :daumenhoch:

I think this is something I could actually do, especially given the amount of info I've gathered and the Team WHEELS contacts I've made so far. Now you've mentioned it I might have a look into it.

Here's a few random shots taken from the pile of slides I have.

There are a few sheets of negatives from a US trip made by the team, which include shots outside the Bicycle Harbor shop. The team manager tells me they went there to purchase some of the Harbor Lite nylon headsets for their lightweight builds. I know they still have one of these now rare headsets so I'm chasing that for the Ti build....

Just looked up them headsets, very cool  :daumenhoch:
If you draw a blank on finding one I have an engineering chum who may be able to turn you one or our kid could 3d print one  :)

dinglem:
One of the original team members still has one - I've seen it - and I'm supposedly going to see him and collect it next week. We shall see....
