I would love to get my hands on an original Thanet silverlight, a or even the Thanet Silverthan Ladies frame, so if anyone has got one collecting dust at the back of an outhouse somewhere, then please get in touch.
Cycling has changed little!
Reading up on the very rare Thanet Silverthan Ladies vintage bike, I'm amazed how the rare 1947 frame, compares with todays Specalized Ladies, Vita an all round modern hybrid bike, that I ride here in Thanet.
Todays down tube is a much thicker than the 1/4inch tube of the early Thanet Silverthan, The top bar a totally different shape and the angle of the rear stays smaller, of course the materials are different and there are no derailleurs. But the shape of the frame appears much the same.
