Don't fancy Firko it says s-i-c-k no matter which way ya cut it :-[.

Did you notice the fifties side stand in the above photo Jim? Cheap, effective, overweight and overengineered ;D. Back in vogue - totally 'green' and recyclable ;).

Jim..you will be able to use the lipless rims as the Ariel shown has....they are allowed in pre'65 ..however if you wish to have an "A" prefix which denotes pre '60 (as in the photo) you will need to use mudcather style rims.... :) Deep breath now Firko... ;) :-*
