an Epic testing week

[biggs682]

picked up a scruffy late 80's or early 90's Carrera Epic road bike a few weeks ago , well after some light recommission work . i have been using it to commute on this week and i have been well impressed by it.

a work mate has declared first dibs on it after borrowing it one lunch .

pics will go up on weekend weather permitting

Looking forward to the pics. Sounds like another bike passing through the Biggs workshop pretty quickly!

no rush on my behalf as it rides so well but a fistfull of dollars always wins

My first response to that was "That's bloody hideous". It disturbs me however that the more I look at it, the more I begin to like it.

It's certainly colourful. You won't lose it in a bike rack.

Which is what really counts... you don't look at the mantelpiece while you're poking the fire and all that!

its just a good job i like colourfull bikes really will miss this one once workmate stumps up the cash

On the face of it an 'imaginative' colour scheme, but actually it sort of works. As already said, you're not going to lose it in a hurry! Presumably your workmate likes to be noticed!!

You Sir could fall into a skip of scrap metal and come out with a fully functioning retro beauty

I know, beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, but your bikes do funny things to me biggs

ss i like to be different and for some strange reason oddly coloured bikes dont always go for much wonga so cheap to buy , but there are a lot of people out there who either dont casre or like me like to be different , at mo still enjoying this ride
