Title: Locally made old school Stuff . Whos found any ??
Post by: animal on September 04, 2010, 10:47 PM: I have a retrofit Hub 4 a Skyway that was made locally in Rugeley (Cannock) in my collection and a pair of bars I made at 13 :D I know there were lots of bits made my peeps in this area just nothing turned up yet like Stems, Bars, forks, etc :'(
I met an old mate in a pub the other week after 20 odd years ::) we had a good crack about old times and he said he had some stuff still in an old barn 8) His dad was an Engineer and made him a couple of bits and pieces bitd so u never know :daumenhoch: Thats what got me thinking again , just wondered if peeps have found stuff if they have used it on builds ? I know Phil (Sawzall) has his SJK with all it finery of SJK bits . Thats the kind of stuff i'd like 2 find ;) Had a couple off local bike shops one called perks cycles that made their own F&F would love 2 find one of them but I doubt it as don't think they sold many :'(

Post by: Jaymz on September 06, 2010, 09:54 AM: The closest thing i've got to being local is a complete survivor 1985 lew ways stinger aero out of the cannock toy factory, although i'm pretty sure the bike never ssaw assembly there. I just like the cannock connection as I have family up there
