ask Beard, he'll know, and I'm sure it's allowed.

I'll include some skinny red tyres if you buy it. better for racing than the fat ones on it now. :daumenhoch:

there is no age limit.

I've no idea why they aren't allowed, but probably because they are a replica of an old school bike rather than being a proper old school bike.

Personally, I can barely tell the difference between the originals and the replicas (then again, I was never a Raleigh buff).

But the organisers have to draw the line somewhere I suppose cos it would be quite easy to make a new school bike with a 1" headset and no brake lugs just to fit into OS rules (I've had people asking me whether it would be possible to make a dialled bikes frame like that, but I just tell them I think it would be against the spirit of the OS Series).

Post by: beard1973 on October 30, 2007, 03:58 PM: Everyone hates Burners... and now they don't want me racing one... ;D ;D

No-one had a problem on Sunday... I think its more a case of.. "don't worry about him... he's only on a Burner.."

Better get this 1993 robinson amtrac built up.. MORE controversy... :D :D :D :D
