Photo Colin Riddell

Here is another old photo from the sixties courtesy of Tony Jarrow.

The rider is Colin Riddell and it looks like it was in a road race in Derbyshire.

Note the helmet style of the day - we only normally used them in road races and on the track. It was normal to carry a spare tubular tyre, strapped under the saddle, and a pump.

Note:

Gear levers on the down tube.

Centre pull brakes (brand Universal, I think).

Bolt on clips for Bottle cage, pump and brake cables.

Chrome plating on frame (fork ends and seat stays) frames were steel then.

Deep drop handlebars.
