Cheltenham Pedersen help sought
Does anybody know what happened to the people from Individual Bicycles
who made the Cheltenham Pedersen in 1985/6? Did any of them go on to form other bike businesses? Did anybody buy up the remaining stock when the company went into receivership? I am trying to buy some spares to restore mine. Specifically, I need a replacement saddle-post assembly that slides into the twin seat tubes and has the anchor position for the saddle-springs. Alternatively, can anyone recommend a frame-builder in the Westcountry who would know about the bike and could do some repairs? |

Argos in Bristol have a good reputation. |

No idea, sorry. -- Tim I understand very little of what's being discussed but for some reason it's fascinating. (Jon Thompson, urs) |

I spoke to them and they have recently repaired a Pedersen, oddly enough with a similar fault to mine. |

Mine will have to be peeled off if I'm sending the frame to Argos for repairs. If I'm careful I might have a good enough decal to use for copies. I was thinking about enameling a badge for my bike, instead of the decal. I'll ask him if he has any objections to my replicating the logo. > >> Did anybody buy up the remaining stock when >> the company went into receivership?
