Very nice. Does Bob still run K Cycles? Haven't been for years. And who runs the Eureka now? Last time I was there it was Neil.
Working my way up to inferior.

Sorry, I can't quite read the make.  What is it? Bob Weston?

Hi, no, Bob has retired  now.His wife died a few years ago. I sometimes see him at the Eureka but I haven't seen him for a while.The Eureka is now run by Anne and Keith Peak. Neil and Anne moved to Hawarden and I believe Ann is not in the best of health these days.

Hi, yes it is a Bob Weston.Bob got the frame from Cougar Cycles and built the bike up for me. He asked me if it would be ok to put his name on it and seeing as he had done a good job on it, I said yes :) Originally, it had drop handlebars but I changed to straights years ago. It's a smashing little bike :)

Cougar, as in Joey McLoughlin?  Cool.

It looks like a bike that has been adapted to suit the owner very well, which indicates that it is very loved.  That's always good to see. :)
