Hi all
Returned to the fold about a year ago after a 10 year lay off due to ill health.
My cycling career began in the late 60's - here is a list of bikes owned 1967 to now.
Raleigh RSW14 (my first bike!)
Raleigh Chopper
Edwards Standard 3 spd
Elswick Hopper 3spd
Raleigh Wayfarer
Puch Free Spririt
Raleigh Superbe
Ridgeback (early mountainbike circa 1983 cant remember model)
Claude Butler Majestic
Rudge Roadster 3 spd (c1948)
Raleigh Wayfarer
Specialised Rockhopper
Dawes Galaxy
Moulton Standard
Moulton Delux
Moultond Safari
Mouton Speed 6
Brompton T5
Brompton T3
Brompton L3
Moulton Standard
With the exeception of the Brompton L3 all of these are long gone now sadly. Some, especialy the Moulton speed 6 and Safari would be worth big money now............
Current bikes:
Sparta California c1988 - dutch roadster converted to single speed & fitted with 'bikebins', my low maintenance local runabout
Dahon Vitesse D7 - for longer runs and mixed mode travel
Bromton L3 - an early Mk2 - very little use - still has original tyres!
As my health improves I am building up those cycling legs! I would really like an older Galaxy similar to the one that I used to own - 10 spd pre canti brakes. I will post in the wanted section on the off chance that enyone here has one at the back of the garage!
Cheers
Ian
