I don't think Dunelts of that period were made in China (presumably you mean the same China that makes a lot of cameras for Pentax). Dunelt were part of Raleigh at that time and the bikes were made in England or in the local market, so that one could have been made in the USA. Graywolf may be able to let us know.
People decide their own priorities about what to spend their money on. Just because someone wants to spend a lot of money on a camera it doesn't mean they should also spend a lot on other things. I know people who have custom-built bicycles that cost more than a car, but who wouldn't spend more than a couple of hundred dollars on a camera. I also know people who've cycled round the world (some more than once), and now use beat-up old delivery bikes that they rescued from the tip. Having an expensive bike means nothing; having an expensive camera means nothing. What matters is to have the right bike, or the right camera. That Dunelt looks like a damn good bike, and one that I'd be proud to own. It will probably outlive you; hopefully. If you do outlive the bike perhaps you'll pick up some knowledge, wisdom and humility on the way. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Polyhead > Sent: 01 January 2008 08:46 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Another Bicycle Shot --PESO > > Would be a great shot if that made in china hunk of crap bike > wasn't in the way. >.>.... really.. people.. you'll drop a > grand in a camera but won't drop $500 for a decent rig?
