Aye BP, when I go to the local tip (to throw stuff away) Im amazed at what people throw out(cue "Wombles theme") ..like pedal bikes with flat tyres/as new treads and tiny specs of surface rust that may have been used in the wet ..once or twice perhaps.! i must say that my project..when completed.. will make a nice matching pair with that crossbow mate

hey SS mate...hope your well mate , we got this bike from new for my step son about 2002 and he used it...skidding it about and stuff,and then was in our garden shed till recently ...and if i can get it sorted for less than £50 then i will be happy ..those gas mask bags were only £3 each and are very well made too ! i can fit a trangia stove (ex Army one) in it easy plus other stuff ...probs one of my most versatile bits of kit ive ever bought ,ive a good first aid kit in another one i have in olive green too ,so i can recommend these mate .
