Hello Pete!

Let me be the first to say: "Welcome to the forum!".

Like you can see from my profile, I'm proud owner of a '56 Flash myself, a great and reliable bike, just the Ariel brakes had not really been an improvement compared to the previous 8inch hub. Have posted some pics of mine recently in case you are interested.

Have fun!

Welcome Pete
I see you shop where I do, and use the handlebar pannier method.
Just one criticism - next time your at Morrisons ask for a bag for life *smiley4*

Oh, got to drop me a PM next time you come to visit Vienna, I live just 80km south.

Yep, not many brit bikes around here, they were quite rare here even back then when they were new. Not many people could afford these in the tough years of rebuilding the country after WW2.
