19mm, blimey, 23s had my fillings removing themselves! What would you pump those up to?

120psi plus:ohmy: . I had to buy a proper Silca pump, still going strong 30 years later:okay:.

Road surfaces were a bit better in the 90ies^_^

They must have been a lot better, because I don't consider 28's to be exactly "plush" to ride on, and that's with the pressures correctly optimised for my weight. Riding on 1 3/8" roadsters and 35's must have spoiled me. I haven't had the "pleasure" of riding 19's or 23's and I think I'll steer well clear of them!

She has been tested and found to be wonderful.
I introduce Patsy #6 The Phoenix. (A few little bedding-in issues to tweak at my leisure, but she's good to go!) :becool:

Just goes to show how far you have to go to beat these old Pugs
 

I like Skol

A Minging Manc...
Great job, looks really smart :okay:

Just one thing I might change (and this is purely personal). I would have moved the brake levers down a bit to be more reachable from the drops, although without sitting on the bike and trying them I can't be sure, they might feel fine in the hand where they are?

This may be a tweak for later on - I'm going to for a longer shake-down ride over the weekend.
