Marvellous! I could also covet your 'bone dome' - I've been searching for one for a while but not come up with anything big enough so far - 62/63cm :oops:

The little 259's are quite lively. They will go faster than stated on 1930's road tests, running on modern 97 octane fuel. It was about 79 octane in 1936.
They do lack power on hills
