I've added a new section on my site for your reference (will be regularly updated and added to):

www.martin-bike.com

Got to:
- Old School
- Bike Bits
- Check the "Number Plates" and "Hubs" section to see where I'm going with this

This is still in progress but will have years of first release across the full range of old school parts.

If you spot anything wrong, please let me know.

If you have any good photos to contribute with a definitive knowledge of year of first release, please email me on:

martin@martin-bike.com

Some people are concerned with global warming, world poverty or worker exploitation. I'd like to make the world a better place by seeing more era correct builds.

That's a slick site Martin! I have not visited in some time, and it moves along smoothly! I love the fade transition between pages. Classy!

Looks like a fun and interesting project as well. A service to all collectors.

Cool, nice resource. Keep it going. I popped in the other day and ran through it. All those bits yours?

Great, glad people will use it. Would be great if people also contributed.

No, not everything is mine but I will be shooting good photos of my stuff to include. I found myself always digging through magazines to find the correct date for a part. I also found myself saving photos from auctions, posts, wherever. This is just a way of making good use of them and easily accessible to everyone.

Hey Martin,

How much do you want this or how much for that ??? Just kidding...

Very nice site.

Hey Martin - the site is awesome mate!!! You've just got me in trouble though with the missus as I'm on the pc going through the site and she's waiting to watch a movie!!!!

"Added to favourites"

Cool! Glad you like it.

I'm just in the middle of uploading a bunch of ad scans so there can be no argument on dating.

Wow! That is awesome!!!!! You must have spent a lot of time working on that, thanks for taking the time to sort those out, very helpful and also useful, thanks and cheers
