Namaste Steve,
Looks like the Old Bone shaker could do with a set of spokes, then it would almost be back in the 1960's..
Fly like the wind, land like a feather,...take care my friend.

I will try to ring you mid afternoon this coming Sunday UK time

VF, sorry to trouble you... the pictures in posts 2345 and 2346, where were they taken?
Love following this thread - only direct experience of Nepal was 3 weeks trekking in 1979, but many happy memories of working with Gurkhas in Hong Kong, Brunei and elsewhere.
