Hiya Folks,
When I'm out on my vintage bikes I fairly regularly get 'nice bike' from random strangers.

Partly it's because I ride Holdsworths and they had a factory in Putney (where they made the Specials).

One old guy at a pedestrian crossing said he knew people who used to work there and when they shut half the stock walked out the door with the workers.

Hit a new high for me yesterday: out on the recently finished 1961 Holdsworth Cyclone and a 20-30 year old guy driving a white van gave a thumbs up and said 'nice bike'
when we were stopped at some lights. I was in the adjacent lane on his passenger side so he had to make some effort. I'm guessing he spotted the Mafac Racer from the back and took
a closer look, but not the behaviour expected of 'white van man'. Or he might have been trade, but didn't see anything obvious on the van.

So anybody else have any nice interactions with random public ?
