Sorry purevl, I didn't understand. The bike (I think) you're refering to is my 'shopping' bike. Its an old Aussie built track frame with some interesting parts i.e. large flanged Prior hubs and an inch pitch drive train. No toe clips so I can wear normal footwear to the shop. No brakes - who needs them at the pace I ride it at. (It's probably my most ridden bike.)
Ozneddy - sounds like a couple of great utes mate. The XP must be a classic.
JJ Special. Is that out of JJ Stewarts old shop? A couple of years ago I was up at Bendigo for the Madison and had a yap to JJ, who was down from Ozneddys neck of the woods. Hadn't seen him for about 15 years. He's still the same.
I can remember him still having a race with the pros in the 1970's. He must have been in his late 40's or early 50's then, and was still using the old inch pitch stuff
