in the meantime, i'd guess you have about 12-16 weeks to get your project(s) finished.

A change of route..... a different format....... a different name to avoid unfortunate sexpo connotations in the minds of the public.
Gradually updating the website as well

I could do the ride in my show gear on the Healing, but i'm really not too keen on doing the 125k on a singlespeed with only a coaster brake. And who knows how much strength is left in those 59 year old rims.
As for show bikes, i'll have the his n hers Healings, Dawes, Tarini and Tom Wallace I had there last year, along with a 78 Viscount Sebring, 70s BSA Tour of Britain, 80s Fellini and one or two very special bikes .

It is a 62cm frame and in reasonable condition. I have no time to restore, but the desire to keep and restore is there.
If you need a bicycle for this ride I am happy to lend you the old girl, if you find it needs X or Y parts (bearings etc) I will pay for the part if you fit it.
It does need respoking or new wheels, I cannot afford this at the moment (I can afford spokes but not a rebuild). Further information in the thread viewtopic.php?f=23&t=49293&start=125
It has a 501 frame, possible 531, the seat stem diameter is 27 mm.
I will not be shipping it but happy to meet somewhere on the coast.
It is almost certain with my new career progression I will not be able to get the bike ready or attend myself. I would love to see it used.
I would also like to help fit the parts, time permitting.
It's up to you..... the offer is there.
