The bike also had chrome drop outs.
I ended up working at Allins for a couple of years, just after John and Ray bought it from Stan and Anne Butler, grandparents of Gethin I believe. The shop is long since closed but I do remember as a customer queuing to get service as dear Stan and Anne didn't have a till as such, they hand wrote every sale on a till roll and used a wooden draw for the cash...
The course was/is somewhat controversial because it is asymmetric and the prevailing winds assist on the longer outbound leg.
