Thanks for the peek, Richard. Out of interest, why the '48 version over the '50 model?

cheers

Hi Michael - I like the ‘48 model better because it is still HRD - Homage to Howard R Davies who started the marque - and it still has Brampton Biflex girder forks . I would have purchased the 50 model though had the 48 been sold out . ( and I wouldn’t turn down either of them if someone were to give me the real thing ! )
Cheers- Richard
