The fact that I'm writing this at 0352 just goes to show how serious this is - I can't sleep dammit!!
Incoherent thought No1 - I can't find anywhere on the Forum devoted to push bikes so unless I'm being really dense this seems like a considerable ommission - our local club show has a section and, indeed, an annual prize for the best military pushbike. A simple military vehicle but an effective one - just ask the Japanese.
Incoherent thought No 2 - as my grandfather served in the Home Guard in WW2, I've long had a fancy for restoring a wartime or better yet pre-war push bike to represent one used by the HG - a few ebay sourced bits and pieces and bingo - an interesting MV that I can also use to get me around Beltring next year.
To that end, what I think is a suitable machine came into my possession yesterday but there is little or no information anywhere on t'internet to help me date it - I would be really grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction - its a Phillips (unfortunately not the military spec model - that would be a great find) - I can post a pic with a more fulsome description later depending on response.
Right, thats off my chest now, I'm off back to bed:yawn:
