They go well, like the seats round the table.

The bikes look pretty good too  ;)  See what you mean about the DK stem, very long reach  :shocked:

Yes, the seats go under the table for saving space in a confined area.
That's the Patterson rebuild i've been doing for Tommy Lynch, I know not many people would understand forklifter bars on a PR200 but that's what he rode! And yes, that stem is a longun.....

Cool Clive  ;) ,

Yep Forklifters on Toms bike from those Hotshot Patty/Redline days  :) ( always with necessary tilt back when we all mostly ran upright bars ) .

Well spotted Matt, yes when we all had our bars vertical, wee tommy always ran his bars laid back following the angle of his forks.  If you've never seen Tom in the final of the 1986 European Champs from Germany, seeit. There's Tom on the gate with the whole matching Dutch Amev team, all a foot taller than Tom and he kicks thier asses, one of my favourite races ever!

But Matt, do you like my curtains?
