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

For the uninitiated the Primus Stove Clip is shown here in a nice photo just posted on Facebook and copied here for your amusement. Enjoy. :lol:
