AFAIK there are several (lots?) of Bristols. Best to specify which state or country, etc.

You should also post a ride idea to see who on this forum wants to join it. You lead........ "Build it and they will come."

Welcome to BF! The recent Raleigh doc had a great segment on those machines. Really grabbed the sense of adventure when you rode those rockets !

Yup that's what I figured - Bristol, Pennsylvania. Blue collar town where they created the Bristol stomp. Oh those Philly kids back then. Cool.
