Been looking through some old books i refound at home, how technology has changed the bikes, i'd like to think the ethos behind it all is the same though.

Dated 1988

I used to lust for a Bigfoot Smokestone, i believe the guys local to me as i'm in Stroud now. Anyone know if it actually was Harris who built them?
