The colour ... so pretty. Congratulations and I had to laugh at the 'missed turn'. Could have been me.

They look great together!
As you know, I love the colour of your 'Sport, such a dashing bike.
What is your bar mounted drinks holder- can you post a close up?

Its the one of the Reg Harris Lambert I picket up a couple of months ago off of ebay. I am looking for a couple of bottles to finish the retro look for l'eroica. The chrome has worn off/rust busted through in places but I call it patina.

Scottw,there's a French seller on ebay that sells period alloy bottles with cork stoppers.
He seems to charge £17 plus postage.I know that seems quite a lot,but they're the cheapest
I've seen to date.
Cheers,
Pete.

I think I mentioned in another thread that those vintage double alloy bottle cages go for very high prices if they come up at all. Are those in France reproductions Pete?
I'm sure i could make a business proposition out of just making saddle bag uplift frames (like the Carradice BagMan) and double bottle holders.
