BIKES


Like what it says up there.  Once again this will be a page that grows seeing as bikes tend to evolve over time, well mine do anyway.  It will probably be better if I do this in reverse chronological order, so scroll to the bottom to start.  Of course, I don't have photographs of some of my earlier bikes - I used to have lots of piccies 'cos back in those days I used to develop my own, but like so many things, the negatives have vanished . . . well stolen actually, but that's another story.  Just give the relevant picture a click and away you go.
