First proper ride on it today, my 26km ride to work. Other than the modern pedals and lights the thing is completely 1980s, with five speed freewheel, non-aero centre pull brakes and down tube friction shifters. I enjoyed riding it enormously! To my mind, it's not a vintage bike; it's just a bike and will be used like all the others are.

Superb Bike. On a par with my Raleigh Royale I should think. we must keep these great old bikes on the road. Good job all around.

we must keep these great old bikes on the road.

We certainly must and make sure they are used and enjoyed
