Bikes: Bates (of Coburg) track bike(60s/70s?), Malvern Star Ladies coronation (1953), SuperElliots pathracer (60s?), Repco pathracer (1964), Holland Ladies (50s?), Moa (50s?), Hillman Ladies (40s?), Batavia? (40s?), Malvern Star 2 star ladies (50s?)...etc.

That Thanet is a corker! I saw a couple at the bike museum in Wales last year - definitely on the wants list.

Did you shift the Trivelox derailleur? What were your thoughts? Did you prefer it or otherwise compared to other early shifters you may have used?

How are Resilon brakes? Are they sufficient for a tandem? Or is it a case of sticking to flat land. Maybe a Sturmey drum brake rear?

I love folks who get into the really old bikes. Wish I knew more of them.
