Skully,

Good for you not doing Facebook it is a pain in the arse, I mainly do it for keeping up with my European chums but it is useful for posting events.

More details

The Hackney Bicycle Film Society's November show will feature a talk and documentary firstly,
The role of the Bicycle in the Vietnam War
In August 1945 following their final surrender in World War 2 the Japanese left Vietnam and the Nationalist Vietnamese, the Viet Minh having been supported by the Americans and Nationalist Chinese during the War declared independence’ thinking their time had come. The French had other ideas reoccupying their former colony with massive military support from the Americans and British and initiating a war which was to last 30 years and cost 2.2 million lives. Hear Adam Thompson talk about the war and how the bicycle was critical to the final victory of the Viet Minh both against the French at Dien Bien Phu and the American via the Ho Chi Minh trail.

Adam’s talk will be followed by our film for November Bicycle Corps
At the end of the 19th century, many military experts believed that the bicycle could replace the horse as a means of transporting troops. The 25th Infantry made famous by Bob Marley as the Buffalo Soldiers was chosen to test that theory. On June 14 1897 a small group of African-American soldiers, led by white officers and accompanied by a local newspaper reporter, departed Fort Missoula, Montana. Forty-one days and over 1,900 miles later, they reached their destination--St. Louis, Missouri--after travelling not on made roads but over every possible type of rugged terrain and enduring every kind of bad weather.

This documentary film looks at how the Bicycle Corps came into being, and details the progress and hardships of their amazing journey.

All the best

Adam

Great to hear it over the next week I will be posting more frame building videos

Come to the talk the wealth of experience and Knowledge of the Veteran Cycling Club members can not be matched. There will be people there who can tell you about the construction and how to source for pennys so I there is bound to be someone who knows about die cast fork crowns.
