Those bikes are sweet. I like the one with rod pull brakes and the custom fender skirt.

 

[tortron]

ahh, but your phillips is a distinctly different model.

yea i do get the odd comment about the skirt guard. when i found it it had all dried up in a bunch and gone hared and brittle (same with the seat) but after about a week of carful application of fabric treatment its comeout good as new.

hmm shame you cant really see any of the pinstriping, must get around to getting a new cameres (theres just too much choice and too little money :? )

anyway if anyone wants to see something in more detail i can take more photos or whatever

 

[tortron]
