Rather good. There was a woman who made similar 'soft toy bikes' in the
early 1980s. Jenny.... Jenny Lind? Lynn? Something like that. Anyway,
Superbike featured her work frequently. Champ will probably remember.

At some bike show, superbike had a display of her work, and another
journo from another magazine was spotted trying to stuff one of the
bikes into his bag. There was a little fracas.....

also, you could stuff a *lot* of them into a pocket.

How on earth do you find this stuff?

And what were you looking for when you found it?

Bit of a cheat - it's only a knitted cover on a real bike.

Now if only I could persuade Lesley to upscale something like this:

it could be a bit special.
