I purchased the bike in 1995 in Bowden, England, I wanted a bike so I could ride to work and leave the car for the wife. The guy who I bought it off had quite a few bikes in his garage and seemed a bit of an enthusiast. The deal was done, I think it cost me a 100 quid. There began my love affair with this bike. I used to ride from Davyhulme to Trafford Park, where I was working at Cerestar at the time. Apart from the retaining ring on the Helico hub coming loose now and again it didn’t ever give me any trouble. I had decided to return to Australia and couldn’t bare to not take the bike back with me so it travelled back to Canberra.
