    Rare classic bike. Heads up.

    Knowing the connection between enthusiasts of collectable airguns and classic bikes I thought it worth mentioning the rare and desirable item being offered on that highly regarded online auction site. It finishes today so you'll need to be quick, there were over thirteen thousand visits last time I looked, search for, FARNSLEY VELOCIPEDE.
    The questions and answers are quite enlightening.

    but..

    ...it's not safe! The fuel pipe's held on with a jubilee clip. That's lethal.

    Just finished working on my Sunbeam s7 deluxe for the day, modifying the cylinder head. Read that as trying to prevent further oil leaks! Getting a bit annoyed with it, so seeing that has restored my faith in all that is daft in the world. Thanks for the heads up.
