You look to be taller than the average rider but still really stylish. Also, is that a 22" rear wheel? Not me, it's a modern pic from the U.S.A. rider unknown. A 22" rear wheel it is for sure, which were used there long after they were banned here, when Martin Ashby first rode over there they were still in use then.

You can also use your fingers to wipe your bottom when there is not a toilet roll in sight, but a crumpet in your hands is a thing of wonder! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
