	After getting my cruiser my girlie wanted a bike... but it had to be something old so I got to searching on ebay! Found this not too far away so stuck a bid on it: Triumph Palm Beach from the 60's The same guy was selling this so I put a bid on it to just incase I didn't win the other one: Phillips ladies bike from the 50's well I won them both so stuck a bid on another bike he was selling seeing as I had to collect the other 2: Won this as well ;D Raleigh Robin Hood. The guy reckoned it was from 1948! Went to collect them & he chucked this in to the deal: Any idea what it is? I have the back wheel for it and shouldn't take too much to get it running! all four for £41 ;D I'll get some better unblurred pics soon!

	Wicked! Rod brakes are for winners Liking the colours on the Trumpet aswell, looks great! Do you have any plans for them or are they just cruisers? My mate had one of those wierd motocross looking bikes when I was a kid. He baught it over with him from Germany. This is the first time i've ever seen another one..... funnily enough only a few weeks ago I was thinking about that bike and trying to remember what it looked like, so for putting my mind at rest!

	Got the wheels back on the cicli rock cross (the grifter style thing) need to sort the brakes & the sturmey archer out, gonna be a mean little cruiser that!! The Raliegh Robin Hood is amazing, it's like a time warp, even got the old woods valves!! I can't bring myself to change anything, just gonna enjoy it as it is!!

	I love that robin hood I'd be after one myself, but i'm already behind on on one bike project, and have another half built bike sat in the shed for someone else, and a honda scooter in bits as well
