Hi all,
i am back in the saddle after a year long lay off, after a 20 year layoff before that. I suppose last years attempt was on the back of the Grande depart which our region did wonders for, and now we have the Tour de Yorkshire, so being a Yorkshireman in my early fifties with a small amount of excess to shift i bought myself a decent hybrid. I got a used (once) Claud Butler Voyager for the meagre sum of £100, i am impressed, it is a dream to ride, although i am still getting my head around the 27 gears!, anyway, can anyone tell me what if any problems i may encounter during my ownership of the beast? The bike has been used for a coast to coast ride before i bought it, and its condition would indicate that this is all it has been used for, everything works perfectly, so i will be planning on keeping it maintained properly, not by me. How often do they need servicing, and what signs will tell me when things start to need attention. Any advice from the more learned amongst you would be appreciated.
Cheers.............Howard
