Who needs stickies? Keep adding cool bikes....
And revive a great old thread...

OK, blatantly showing off my lovely, rare, old (November 1947), high-mileage (124,000miles recorded), under-used (by me), English, hand-made, Reynolds 531 Thanet Silverthan.

Chrome plated and all.

Has original Chater Lea chain-wheel, pedals, large flange hubs.



Reynolds, stem, seat-post and Marsh pattern bars.



Lytaloy brakes and levers with quick release. (+ Coolstop pads!)
Note the T incorporated in the lugs.
And head-set oil nipple.
Plus another on the BB in the distance.




Has original Brooks B17 Champion Quality saddle, with copper rivets and beautiful patina, and Brooks, leather covered saddle bag support.
Blumels Airlite Guards/fenders.
Dunlop White Sprite tyres. (A spare pair of NOS came with it.)
Currently waiting for appropriate bar-tape....
