With the advent of the GRA forum this is a good time & place to mention again the two missing 1958 'LHK' ISDT bikes, 3 LHK & 7 LHK.
3 LHK (frame number 9114/TA) disappeared in the 1960's when last know owner Peter Rose sold it to someone in the Manchester/Liverpool area.
7 LHK (frame number 9118/TA) was last known in the Plymouth area circa 1984, when the last registered owner gave it away as a field bike to some friends to ride on Exmoor.
So have a look in your shed, & check the frame numbers on anything resembling a TA trials bike. If they survive they may not now resemble an ISDT bike & have probably been modified into a standard TA trails iron, or even just a frame or basket case. If you find one the GRA have members who can authenticate the frame, so dont be tempted to stamp one up as it will be spotted.
