We love to see any Hetchins and don't get to see anywhere near enough of them, especially older ones.

Wow! What a thread, and even a Harding. I remember Charlie Harding selling those in his shop in west Los Angeles in the 1970s.

1974 Bob Jackson
A one-owner bike, more or less back in its original configuration, it has a Brooks Pro saddle. It has a 2X5 Campagnolo drive train, brakes, pedals and seat post and a Regina Oro chain.
The wheels are replacements bought in about 1984 from Performance Bike Shop that are still going strong (sealed bearing hubs and MAVIC MA-2 rims). Yes, I got my money's worth from them.
We have gone everywhere together - informal racing, loaded bike camping, touring,... you name it.

All Lovely Bicycles!
Just an observation: In your opinion are the mid 1980's Raleigh consumer bicycles made in Japan considered to be British?
I only ask because I have a few...
Here is my unfinished project the Raleigh Twenty:

Regret selling my Bob Jackson Track bike. Found in a storage container at Dominguez Hills Velodrome early 1990's and apparently owned by a German Sprint Champion from the 70's. Bars and saddle from me.

The answer is probably a personal one.
To me, my 'Irish' bike built in England, is English.
All my other bike frames/forks were made in the country they represent.
