Dear All
I had a orange Mk1 when I was kid, second hand in Berlin, came with us to Athens, where it was sold in a garage sale 1981.
Recently found a 1954 All steel bicycle by the side of the road. Cleaned it up and it sold immediately on Gumtree £25. This inspired me to reassemble a RSW 16 that I stripped 6 years ago amazingly I had all the parts, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
It turned out well removed all the surface rust, about to do decals and seat recovered in leather. The wife always liked the bike and it is for her.
Now I have the bug want a MK1, but realise I can't afford it. My compromise is buy a mk3 make it look like my MK1. Any one tried this ?
I am so glad I have found this site.
Thank you to the organisers. Will post some pictures of RSW when done.
