Bantams are a scourge. Their egss are useless.
You need Black Rock or maran Hens


Bantams are dead useful.

Nope not the anim,al version

Mine used to get me from Essex to somewhere near Brighton in less than
two hours.

Ahhaaa your age is showing now.
I on the other had had an NSU Quickly

A contradiction terms. Foreign rubbish.

My Bantam got me from Chichester to Pembroke in one go and I have
never walked quite the same since.

AHHH but yours didnt have pedals!!!

It was D1 Bantam, I'll have you know - no rear suspenson...

NSU Quickly was a good bike. One of my colleagues had one and it would
get to 60mph. I wouldn't turn one down now. The barrels were very
'before their time' being cast aluminium or magnesium alloy, with ground
and back-etched chromium plated bores. No iron liner.

I sold mine to a neighour in the late 60's. He was still using it up
to around 5 years ago when he died.
Im actually tempted to go and see his widow and ask if I can buy it
back.
