Brilliant Vjd I ve not seen the old saddle bag for years. In the city I was born and bred still here lol we were once known as the centre of bicycles and car manufacturing . I hope you achieve your restoration and show us when done.

So do I even now even though I cant climb or get to them any more I still look on skips lol you can get some great things off skips. Yes I prefer the old mini s great for parking getting in and out of traffic jams.
