LIGHTWEIGHTS

I don't see myself as a collector of lightweights. In saying that I do have a fair few sides. Within them nothing much out of the ordinary, most are fairly run of the mill. I do like the two I pictured here though. Both have a story (of sorts) attached to them.

I recall paying a little over the odds one time in an auction. I can't remember why exactly - maybe for an accessory I'd had my eye on. The Melchester arrived in the bottom of the Club Edition, never mentioned on the auction listing. It made my week...I'm easily pleased.

The Blackburn, as stated elsewhere on the blog, was not only my first ever lightweight team it was also the first I'd ever seen.
