Sorry quite a poor story but tbought I'd share it anyway.
Today I went out with our driver on delivery and took the item into an old chaps garage... In the garage on a turbo trainer was an F H Grubb in pale blue. Lovely machine 531 tubing on a single speed hub.
He is currently 82 and has owned it since he was 18. It has been a sprint bike, TT bike, hill climb bike. Gearing it differently over the years for its various roles.
He still nips out to the garage to the garahe and has a blast on the turbo for 30 minutes everyday. Sadly he no longer rides it on the roads, he doesn't t feel safe.
The condition? As good as 3 year old Giant.
I didnt ask to take a photo as I thought it would have been a bit rude
