There used to be a firm called Terry (may still exist) who made, among other things, spring-based accessories for bikes, including clips to hold a pump on a frame without pump pegs, a stopwatch holder (widely used by time trial riders) a hockey stick carrier and a clip for carrying a primus stove (unlit.)

This is a thread that I thought was funny at the time.

viewtopic.php?p=36257#p36257

Unfortunately, the OP Charlie took umbrage and deleted some of his contributions. The first pic was a ten-seater tandem, hence the "Car up, paas it on" commentary. Quite a bit of the humour was transient, though it seemed funny at the time. The in-decks groupseat will be meaningless to many. etc

I'm reminded that in those far off days, we didn't have acres of posts quoting earlier posters
