[CCR]

needs a lot of work but this will look like new when i'm done, it will just have to get in line behind 3 other bikes at the moment tho !!

the weird thing is the bottom race is missing :?:

and for hugo - "I had to beat the poor defenseless lady to her untimely end with her own handbag to get this bike" :mrgreen:

[skoda]

Yes, they sure were. All 1962's. If you need any more info on it, let me know, I have one and have researched them (though not much to tell)

If you ever want to part with it, let me know. I love these bikes.

My Typhoon Staightbar or "Twinbar" was the begining of the end for me and old bikes. (by end I mean begining) :wink:

I have a set myself, one dated Feb 14 Valentines day, and the other May 8th, my brother and niece's birthdays. The May frame has been painted black with red rims and apes, the Valentine frame is being restored to original(or atleast close) for my father inlaw(group effort). Funny that it seems that these frames are a little more special to me than the other cantilever frames I have, not only because of the dates, but because they are a little different than the rest that are out there.

I like the C5R in the background! The bikes are pretty cool too! Passed one up awhile ago (the bikes) and have been regretting it since.
