A Blast from the Past and an Old Friend

Posted by MadMike <iframe src='https://members5.boardhost.com/classicbikemart/info/user=MadMike' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on September 22, 2023, 11:46 pm

I was browsing some snapshots from the Brownie box camera and came across these. Our old friend and, sadly, no longer with us. The late Martin Gelder. Instrumental in creating this forum, and known to wield his razor sharp snippers if we breached his house rules.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

I wonder what Martin would make of the forum these days.

Who needs a signature anyway......

I well remember the "Redleg" tribute at one of Mikes gatherings. Martin will never be forgotten whilst this forum continues.

Sloper runs again.

That T shirt was sadly very true as he was definitely not old when his number was called. Sadly missed, a real nice guy!

You don't have to be crazy to post here, but it helps....

I still have an old Megaton aluminium end cap he gave me many years ago for something that never came to fruition.

Dear Martin, a good friend to us all.

Is that Graham's LE?

I recognised the LE but couldn't link it with anyone. Lovely, lovely looking bike.

It was Graham Bailey's (aka BOF) bike.

It is Graham's LE, which he no longer owns. 😢😢
