I've sent the photos to the link, thnaks CV-6 - no response as yet.

The guy I bought if off gave me the dates , so perhaps he had shorten the bikes age somewhat , so 8 years is doubtful

As far as the kick stand is concerned - I have to give the bike in for a service - I haven't ridden it as yet (need some cash first!!!) I am going to remove it. Shame to have to undo those 4 beautiful bolts - best made bike stand I've seen!

Don't hate you love2pedal, I would like to trace it's origin. What photos would you need?

Thanks for your responses
