"Smudger's" track bike (c.1975-England)
Dominic's bike has a bit of history to her.
She's designed for fixed-gear training with fenders.
Smudger was her second owner. He got her at a shop in Hoddesdon, England,
run by Bob Hicks and his son Graham Hicks, a blind wheel builder.
The first owner placed a sticker from British National Track Championships
in Leicester from 7 July - 4 August 1979. With TA-Stronglight cranks and Cinelli stem.
"...whilst I loved her I am only a touring cyclist
and she wanted to get speed up and "go for it" all the time
(it was obvious that was what she was used to)
and so I agreed with her to try and find someone more worthy of her,
which is where you came in and obviously feel the same attachment as I did..."
