Speaking of kittens, my wife recently got one and somehow it disappeared on us last night. Looked all over the house for it and couldn't find it. I kept checking down in the basement, told her I was looking for the kitten, but in reality I was making sure none of my geared bikes had been converted into fixies. We finally found the kitten hiding up inside the back of the couch, got no idea how it got itself up in there, alive and well. I'm still going to check my bikes again when I get home, I'm also going to look inside the back of the couch to see if a 16 tooth cog and lockring are stuffed up in there as well.

well it appears that was one of the earlier lugged models, same luglines etc.
what scares me is the handlebars are the same ones that were on the Reg Harris
model which was fairly unusual (rare in the us). Looks like the fork has been replaced
and given the history of Lambert/visount forks that is a good thing.

It was just a zinger i couldn't avoid beutiful cars tho, I would be into cars as much as bikes if they were anywhere near as affordable.
My dad & I are rebuilding a '65 Ford Falcon in a 60's hot-rod style & man, it's fun, but crazy expensive...even with most of the parts being sourced from junkyards & other car guys. We're trying to stay away from internet & new parts in keeping with the way he would have built up a hot rod back in his days
