Wondering if it may possibly be a design from Trevor Jarvis in Tenbury Wells, he seems to specialize in fancy lugwork, the present range is here http://www.tjcycles.co.uk/lugs.htm, none look like those on your frame but he also states that there are many discontinued lines, maybe worth dropping him an email.

Hello Mary and thank you, of course I don't mind you printing them for that but not sure what the quality will be like, I've never tried printing them myself, if they don't come out well pm me and I'll try and send you a larger copy ............. if I can find which hard drive/DVD's the originals are on that is

Had a similar rattle when I built my bike up and like you found it difficult to pinpoint where the noise was originating from, eventually traced it to the Cateye computer rattling intermittently in its bracket on the bars, a piece of insulating tape between the bracket and the computer solved the problem.

Apologies for not replying sooner Jags, can't do a comparison between the Plus and Supremes as so far I have only run the Sherpa with Marathon Supremes 26 x 2", which so far, after about 400 miles or so have been trouble free, good in the wet and dry both on tarmac and on unsurfaced tracks. For their size they roll well, are not too heavy and give a very comfortable ride.

I nearly always have a camera with me, most of the time its an old Nikon Coolpix 5400, still takes excellent images and has reasonable manual overrides for most settings. Gives images like this....
If I'm going out with the intention of doing some photography rather than grabbing a few shots during the ride then I would always carry my trusty old Canon 20D DSLR and a couple of lenses, allows me to do decent macro shots like the one below....

I too own a Sherpa and cannot fault it, its running on 26 x 2 Marathon Supremes and incredibly comfortable, loaded or unloaded. Very stable when fully loaded, feels almost like its on rails, very confidence inspiring even on quick descents. Unladen its quicker and more fun than it should be, a great all-rounder, very pleased with mine.

Hi jonf, I think there may still be a few of the old steel framed Dawes Sardar left at the Bike Shed, http://www.bikesheduk.com/ , look under tourers, a little over your budget but by all accounts a strong and versatile machine. Nearly bought one myself but in the end saved a little longer and bought a Thorn Sherpa and cannot fault it, its very stable fully loaded, quicker than you might expect when unladen and extremely comfortable, if you could run to one of these don't think you would be disappointed.

Thanks for the replies, zenzinnia, I hadn't thought about carrying them off the bike so that's a good point, thank you. Thirdcrank, I think the old ones I was referring to are your newer ones with the red ratchet, they have just launched a newer one still that is supposedly easier to fix and remove from the rack but I haven't seen these actually advertised for sale anywhere yet so I'll probably go with the 'old' type.
