They're as rare as the proverbial hen's teeth - at least around this part of the US. I've heard of Malvern, but not Repco until just now. The Malverns with the odd and intricate symbols painted on them are interesting, but not my cup of tea, so I wouldn't go searching one of them out any more than I would search out a Hetchins. I say this not to denigrate the bicycles, but rather to simply state my personal preferences. I know a couple people who own both and love them.
