Hello there,
I'm George from near Glencoe.
On the point of retiring about the end of May just after my 70th birthday and have one or two of my 60's/70's comp bikes still in the shed as retirement projects.
As a surprise, the family just bought me a Hawkstone and most of an MDS. It's about 50 years since I last raced a Hawkstone, I'd forgotten how small they were!. Hope to get an outing or two with the Scottish Classic Racing Club but the modern body armour et al puts me off a bit. A far cry from a rugby jersey, a pudding basin, and corduroy trousers!.
Lots to do to both bikes, I think the MDS will be the first rebuild, I always wanted one, but maybe it'll be the Elstar Jap. The MDS seems to have a 197cc all-alloy kart engine - BIG squish band very small combustion chamber, 36mm carb.
Can't wait to retire and get stuck in.
Cheers,
George.
