Believe it or not, I understand this cryptic message. ...."Jonesys special Klub Kevlar American Eagle stickers featuring Roger Ramjet and the American Eagles (get it?) will be personally delivered from New Zealand at CD7 by Komrade Jolley.

Looks like a trials bike to me. Nice looking bike in the minimalist genre.

Yep, much to our surprise Jonesy got Roger Ramjet running last night. He's as excited as a kid discovering he got a Ken Doll for Christmas. ;)

That bike is in the UK Alison. Talk to Ken about chasing it through Chris but getting bikes out of the UK ain't easy as you well know.
