I had a 1984 model for about 3 months until i realised a cruiser wasnt for me cus i was so small.Cant remember it being solid behind the BB like a Goose though.

that is where the trail got complicated last time  :daumenhoch:,      my mate had this around 83,84 but it was not new when he got it ,   was proposed it could have been a custom build for one of the Halfords team or n i hate using this term a prototype ? always hard to prove,     info is a little thin on the ground when it comes to Wilsons

If it came with 140mm crank arms and 22" wide bars it might have  belonged to  Jocky , not Jacky   :D   :crazy2:
