Drop me a PM with your postal and I will send it off to you.

Very cool collection, I'm currently busy restoring a little Raleigh Sunbeam Dido like the blue one in your photo.

Very cool collection - a "history" of your cycling, all the way from a push scooter to a big boy bike. COOL!

My Gitane Professionnel 531c refurbished full Shimano 600ex groupset with Mavic wheels.

I had one back in the mid 80's. Got it from Dave Street's bike shop in Joburg CBD. Fignon was the inspiration!

Never. Men never grow up, toys just get more expensive...
