Daved, was that the bike leaning against the wall of the marquee with semi-leopard-skin tyres?

Still very chuffed with my prize, the rosette has price of place in my study so it can inspire me when I working on the mag.
Thanks to all the committee as ever for a great weekend!

Yes they are the original Dunlop ‘Sprite’ tyres 16x 1 3/8 with amber walls. The cracks in the walls of the tyres from ageing give the leopard skin effect you mention.

Also understand that If there was a puncture now with the tyre the tyre would require replacement as after 50 years they are stuck to the wheel rim. A picture can be seen on the blog of eg-square.com

I bought an old Deluxe that one of the tyres had fused to the rim. Stank when I managed to get it off too. Grim.
