Got up this morning and found the latest Hitchcocks catalogue on the mat. I've just had a quick browsing though the latest additions. Must say there is some good new parts I like the 13 spoke alloy wheels

Have not had one in years but yes, this morning there was one in our mailbox.
Not looked at it yet, too many home jobs to be done before we start roaming about.

Mine arrived too, or hosts must have thought we still have a bit too much money left! What you must NOT do however is drag out your old (eg) 2007 catalogue and see how much the prices for all those desirable bits have gone up in the last nine years. I shall be reading and weeping later on, but just to share the joy, here's a sample.



Café racer alloy top yoke was £159 + VAT back then, the 200160A long stroke crank £665 + VAT.



Armed with this and a time machine you can go back and make a pretty persuasive argument to the domestic finance committee (once she has given up trying to work out why you look nine years older) that NOW (2007) is the time to build that Bullet you always wanted.

Yes the money Ive done on this years remodelling. The wife says a should of brought a new bike but then it would not be my old Bullet then. New seat New tank New alloy rear seat subframes New Handle bars tyres tubes rim tapes Neo headlight unit and bulb.

I've got the catalogue as well! Hooray! I tend to throw out the old one, so I don't know about any price increases.

The phrase Loose-leaf History Books springs to mind! A.

I always pass my old cataloge on to a motorcycling non RE beveler then usually they end up getting one :0)
I use the On line to Keep it going and the Book to Dream (But very useful it is too) THANK YOU Mr H ...

[Rattlebattle]

Where's mine then???? Not that I'm jealous or anything. I'd love to know what new goodies there are for the C5. Perhaps they send them in alphabetical order?

So much I would buy. So little can I afford. Sigh!! Still I can dream of a lottery win. I love the NEW ROUNDED PANNIERS (92900) you can get for the Classic. Wish you could get them for the Electra.
