Having fitted a couple of SSP Slomos I can safely say you will never get it to fit a Lady Anne running 32mm with insulated wheels (there is just not enough room).

Thanks for the confirmation Tom_Tom_go. Funds permitting I might change the wheels as I'd like a slo-mo.
Until then I'll just have to be gentle on the regulator. :D

Bridge looks impressive. I see you have installed check rails for safety on the bridge.

Looking forward to it!

Great trestle, and a very spacious yard too which should make for great operations...

Cheers,

Andrew.

The trestle is impressive.

How long does something like that last outdoors before it requires repair or maintenance?

Hi tom., Thanks for the complement on the bridge! I will ask my friend who built the bridge that question.
