Post by: firebird on January 23, 2013, 11:58 AM: Hi,

Im hoping someone can help, im trying to gather all the Alf Jones Cycle adverts for my dp web site, I'll need the dates with them too. this will help me work out the dates the frames were available.

I have some already but would like to get them all.

Does anyone have a full collection?

Post by: stillriding on January 23, 2013, 07:12 PM: I lived in Wrexham when the Alf Jones ads were running , if I remember right they ran upto about '85 when Alf's son took over the running of the shop and jumped onto the mountain bike bandwagon , I will go through my Action Bikes and check for you was there one you can remember that you don't have ?
