Y'know I never had much interest in OSSA's until sitting down one day in the early 90's to have a yarn with my dear old mate Phil Young. His sheer enthusiasm for the marque made me look a bit further into them and I soon realised just how sweetly simple they are. I bought a tragic basket Phantom case that'd been in the weather for 30 years and made a start on it but it was too big a job to get it to the standard that I would have wanted so I donated it to Phil and that became the nucleus of his flat tracker/road racer. If I was to go down the OSSA road again I'd love a Stilleto just for the looks or one of those cool little Champion framed OSSA ST's.
