Visit to Blackpool

We had a lovely few days away in Blackpool recently

The pair of us love walking along seaside promenades and we don’t worry about the weather .

I bet most people come back with bags of rock and kiss me quick hats .

If the above statement is true then i am not one of those people because i bought back two rather different pieces of steel instead .

The blue one is what i believe to be a W P Newton frame with track style rear dropouts with the added bonus of brake holes front & rear making this a very useable frame indeed , the other one is a Paul Donohue Cougar made with Reynolds 853 with stunning paintwork .

You have to love British seaside resorts

  1. I’ve seen that blue bike somewhere before, and I hope you weren’t doing BMX tricks on the Cougar at the skate park but seriously they both very nice for very different reasons. And yes the English seaside takes some beating.

  2. Well, there’s nothing like a “stormy” get away with pleasant companionship and a cozy place to stay.
    …and the icing on the cake is a couple nice bicycle acquisitions. That Cougar looks like great fun even for these old bones.;-)

    Cheers,
