steve Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Good for you Ady, I'm pleased for you that your Dad is such a clever mechanic. Try to learn as much from his as you can, those skills will stay with you for the rest of your life. It would be great if you could post a picture of your Dad's Bantam so we can all admire it.

calvin Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Strange first post, not been holding bikes to ransom have you I think if you gonna make an appraisal of two bikes there has to be some sort of context. When the Bantam was in active service the bikes around it were heavier and more expensive so therefore so it would shine out. The modern bikes are much more powerful and lighter than the bantam so I think that both sets of bikes have thier merits. I believe that the skill is in the rider, and even the best bike in the wrong hands (mine) could be beaten by a good rider on a pogo stick, but that doesn't make the pogo stick better than the bike. Might be wrong though, I frequently am Calv' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
