Frame
2186
A touring bicycle: cantilevers, mudguards, a lamp boss and a dynamo boss on the chainstay, where the sheet simply says “for dyno”. Delivery promised at six to eight weeks, deposit taken. A second sheet is filed with it listing the build — SunTour VX gears, cantilever brakes, SR bars and stem, a Madison saddle, alloy Lyotard pedals, ESGE gold mudguards, a Dynapower at £21.60, a Stronglight 99 chainset, large Christophe clips and straps, and 700c quick-release wheels. Every line is ticked off, so this is the list as it was actually assembled rather than as it was quoted.

Kept in the folder with the worksheet and scanned with it: the build written out and ticked off as it was fitted, a letter, a sketch, the second side of the sheet. The worksheet is the record; these are what was going on around it. Tap one to read it full size.
