My last buy was an Escoda size 14 after I examined one Charles Reid was using. It was about £40.

I like them too but had exactly the same problem with the head dropping off completely after a few months. OK, I too had no difficulty gluing it back on but it made me think twice about placing my money on them next time around.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />KevinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222801861432950390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891643331061427318.post-48832624342007274232014-02-08T13:00:12.997-08:002014-02-08T13:00:12.997-08:00Each to their own Yvonne.
