Hello Russell, work has started on recommissioning the first one only, this is going to take a few weeks for sure before the Rapides come out, but please private message me if you can with a phone number, I do intend to keep some for myself, they are all better than I first thought.
Thanks
Kerry.

These sale/seller of these bikes will have nothing to hide, I will advise any interesting parties of which there is already lot's to contact Simon before parting with money.

It was sadly the professional non riding investors that encouraged this in my opinion.
I am now more interested in history and condition and rideability than tiny numbers, just my own views of course. This collection could easily be sold straight to the trade but personally I would not like to see that happen.
