Blimey, I remember Penny Farthings. They used to have a flag pole by the side of the road with 2 wheels on top, 1 big and 1 small, like a penny farthing I suppose. Never knew you worked in there Rhys. I remember Paul Dudley and his mate trying to get jobs in there when they first opened but they said the owner was a miserable git and wasn't interested.
I always wanted a job in Sixar cycles in Upminster though, that guy had the cream of the cream parts in stock. 400 and 401 flights, graphite z-rims etc. Last I knew he went bust, wonder what happened to all his stock? He had loads of Kuwie & Torker framesets in there.
