I have my Mielec frame for sale, I'm sure the frame needs no introduction to your readers! Janes told Spokesman.

has never been raced and only did about six laps before being stripped back to bare frame. The bottom bracket shell has been faced to accept external (or internal) bottom bracket. The head tube is 1 1/8" and the rear end will accept a wide rear tyre.
The frame is in excellent condition and is priced at £80 (no offers).

FIFTY YEARS BID SOARS posted 28 October 2013
Bids for a rare copy of '50 Years of Cycle Speedway' have soared after we published a story about the sale on our Sales and Wants page.
From an initial bid of £9.99, bids have rocketed to over £40 and show no signs of stopping as interest in the book spirals.
Recent sales suggest that the successful bidder will have to be prepared to part with the best part of £50 plus postage before they can secure the book which is described as being in excellent condition.
'50 Years' was published in 1996 to commemorate cycle speedways fiftieth anniversary. It is believed only a few hundred copies of the short-run book was published adding to its scarcity and value. Considered the definitive book on the sport, cycle speedways bible is highly prized by owners, so copies rarely come up for sale.

CONTAINER REQUIRED posted 19 September 2013
Gavin Parr has appealed to Spokesman readers to see if they know of any storage containers for sale.
Northumbria Cycle Speedway club are desperate for a 20ft container, preferably in grey but we can paint if needed said Gavin.
At present we don't have a great deal of funds to pay for one so if any business people could help a club in need please get in touch as soon as possible. We have just spent £21k on the new purpose built track so club funds are a little stretched at present. We have secured a grant which will bring the club eight new bikes to be used by youth riders but we don't have anywhere to house them explained Gavin
Anyone with any suggestions please get in touch with Gavin as soon as possible by emailing him at
