From: North Queensferry Scotland and London (and France)

Bikes: Custom (Colin Laing) 531c fast tourer/audax, 1964 Flying Scot Continental, 1995 Cinelli Supercorsa, Holdsworth Mistral single speed, Dahon Speed 6 (folder), Micmo Sirocco and a few more

I've attached a link to the photograph of my Flying Scot on Bob Reid's excellent website.

the site is well worth a look.

John's Flying Scot

This was pre pedals (I used the bike with different bars all summer last year). It's now in bits waiting on a swap of wheels (27" from my winter/tourer) and centre pull brakes etc.

Its a n early 60's frame, refinished a few years ago, but with a mix of 70's and 80's Campag and ShimaNO!

I'm trying to get age related stuff for it.

It gives a fantastic ride, slightly livelier than my other 531 bike (which is 531c) The lugwork is beautiful and it has grease nipples on the headset and BB, as well as built in pump pegs for a bluemels pump. Chrome half forks and rear triangle.
