Pre-65 Trials In 1999

[laird387]

Hi,

Had an interesting email enquiry requesting details of 'where could genuine pre-65 bikes be used years ago'.

I dug out a couple of copies of 'Classic Chronicle' the independant newspaper that I published as a supplement to ORR, where we placed club notices advertising 'regs.available', and 'event calendar' details and here is a list from 1999.

We were busy little bees.
