Hi Charlie, Thank you I will keep a look in your site for the press cutting. Well I know John Close who rode the Cotton mickmar for the Cotton factory and he seams to remember the bike being left at Talon mickmar in Yeovil. Hopefully it is around somewhere Mary Christmas

Hi Jon, Yeah I have seen the Talon Mickmar in sammy's museum. I know of about 5 Mickmar engined bikes left but the cotton has totally disappeared

I am doing research into the Cotton Mickmar project and am looking for a photo of the bike. I have this newspaper article with a of Eric Lee holding the frame he built for the Mickmar engine. I have been in touch with Michael Martin who made the engine and John Close who rode the bike for a season for the Cotton factory and they have no photos of the bike either. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi I am starting a project with ex cotton works rider John Close the cotton mickmar trials bike and am looking for as much info on it or other minckmar trials bikes. I have been talking with Michael Martin who has given us lots of info but unfortunately he does not have and photos of the bike. We are wondering if anyone has a photo of the cotton mickmar that would help us in our project? Many Thanks Matt

Does anyone remember what happened to the cotton mickmar. I have been speaking to John Close that rode it for a season and he remembers dropping it off back at Talon and that was the last he ever saw of it.

Ok if you do get on to trouble let me know and i might be able to help. Would love to see it when you finished it if you do that is. If you do think of getting rid of it id be really interested in buying it off you.
