Another Hardisty has just turned up on marketplace https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/990722532774111/

Missed out on this today, St John Street cycles version Claud Butler 531st for only £39! I hope whoever got it, appreciates it and I don't see it back on with an extra zero on the end 😪

Where is that one located? I'm currently touring Italy, but will be coming back through Germany to the UK

I used to ride my bike from Ashington, 20 miles or so North of Byker to the original John Hardisty shop, when it was just the little shop before he bought the corner plot, and way before EBC bought the lot. When I get home, I'll check the numbers on the frame and see if I can get in touch with...

Thanks for that, I hadn't appreciated that they were part of the highly respected Strange engineering of drag racing parts - cars are another part of my life! Would love to see an image of the their brake levers, @ferrus ,have you contacted Strange directly for any info?

You'll have to wait and see guy's, I might like them 😎🤣

Just looked a Paul's current line up of brake, the mounting system is similar, but his are conventional centre pull canti's

Ah, I never considered that, I'll have a Google

I'm really hoping so, if I can get my hands on a galaxy 531 too, it would be interesting to compare

Supposedly so, I can't find out much information on them except a how to adjust them page on instructables. https://www.instructables.com/Strange-Brakes-by-StrangeCycles-Installation-and-A/ They work very weird with the cable pivot and the cable anchor on the same arm, pulling the link arm...

I've been caught out twice now with selling when the 80% off hasn't been applied even though I've accepted the offer. Next time I use it, I'm going to screen shot the offer email, and the acceptance screen, so I've got the evidence to prove 👍

Nope, I'd never heard of one before either. There I was minding my own business whilst touring around Europe, in a campervan mind, thinking that I really wish I'd brought a bike, but what bike could I bring that was nice to ride, but understated and not attractive to theft. I started thinking...

I believe this is a Lancaster - the seller hasn't any idea I was interested until I saw the top tube damage next to the seat clamp...

That's lovely, much nicer than mine that was pulled out of a hedge!

Wow - it was meant to be 😎
