Cec came along side and after a little while took us to a café with skis on the wall. we had beans on toast and a drink and cec paid. I wish I had called in to thank him for his kindness but alas I moved to the Midlands.John Bradshawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-55182853355488571002012-06-08T23:33:24.881+01:002012-06-08T23:33:24.881+01:00Dave Hamilton.

Shortly before the shop closed "Duckworth" Bike Frames were being produced "in house" by Paul who brazed Reynolds tubing together to order in the workshop before sending them to be stove enameled.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645655669361286618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-20582064304044288182012-04-19T15:18:18.527+01:002012-04-19T15:18:18.527+01:00Hi Chris

I used to use a fixed cog, 18 tooth was the norm but sometimes I used a 16 tooth; damned hard work. I couldn't afford the new derailleur gears on my paper round money. At the time I didn't know that it was illegal to have only one brake at the front. We used to do our own time trials, Hyde Town Hall return via Mottram New Road, Four Lane Ends at Hattersley and Mottram Old Road. Another one was Macclesfield return. I was out most nights and weekends until I got distracted by the opposite sex!JohnThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418988711175328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-83824549896474933562011-04-02T20:47:50.943+01:002011-04-02T20:47:50.943+01:00Spent many any hour looking in the shop windowSpent many any hour looking in the shop windowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-27021500743872191732011-04-02T19:09:53.532+01:002011-04-02T19:09:53.532+01:00Monkey Boots... ha! that takes me back a bit... to...Monkey Boots... ha! that takes me back a bit... to tell the truth I thought they were more comfortable and harder wearing than Doc's.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-8370751438857283512011-04-02T19:00:56.563+01:002011-04-02T19:00:56.563+01:00Strange but the main thing I remember about Cec...Strange but the main thing I remember about Cec's shop was it was the best place to buy monkey boots! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
