thought i'd introduce myself, i'm James a la Catford (Get-To-Know).
i wanted to show you all the freshest thing i found in a skip this week:
a Tom-a-Hawk copy of a Mk.I Raleigh Chopper (the low budget alternative to the retro classic preferred by working class parents across the nation).
I know it looks like a rusty heap of shit now because, well.. it is, but i'm planning to fix it up and i'll keep you updated on how its looking. 
note: Classic frame-mounted gear stick removed from all later models due to various law-suits being filed against Raleigh and Hawk after multiple vasectomy-like injuries sustained by boys (and girls i guess?) all over the country, which could explain the steep fall in the average number of children per household in the early 80's, in my expert opinion.
have faith, and remember, one man's junk is another man's ride.
And hang on to that micro-scooter in your shed cause it might end up on Antiques Roadshow one day.
