"Tearing along the traffic-burdened thoroughfare with staring eyeball and reeking frame, this insane demon shoots past men,woman and children, with nothing to announce his coming or mark his passage save a faint hum and a curl of dust."
Letter to a Hawkes Bay Newspaper dated 9 December 1898

The philosophy of multiple bike ownership
This is my new get to work when I'm running late, which is often, visit friends over in Napier or go for a quick coffee(that's a triple shot, two sugars in a small cup, in case you are buying) bike. It is a 1950's Comet Track bike, fitted with Brooks Professional saddle for comfort and good looks, Campagnolo rear brake (yes it was already drilled), for stopping power, and good looks, Merkins style track stem and some 1930's steel track bars for their good looks etc....
For those of you interested, there is a brief history of Comet Cycles on this blog tagged under Comet on the r/h tool bar.
