Kilo, how about this for kismet?
Saturday whilst I was working, I struck up a long conversation with the customer. Anyway as I was leaving he wished me a good weekend and asked if I was doing anything special. ‘Just having a good long cycle ride’.
Oh he said, ‘my dad was a professional cyclist’ right I though, So I asked who he rode for, straight away he said ‘hercules’ he was for real. Turns out his dad was Denis Talbot. And before he turned pro he worked with Harry Rench? filling in the solder on Galibier frames.
And it was only today I found out what they were, and I didn’t search because of the fact about Talbot. I will one day want something like this, perhaps a curly replica for modern kit.
