Hi everyone!

[Birdie]

Thank you for letting join . Just recently got back on my old Raleigh after a gap of 23 years Looking forward to picking your brains if I may, and hopefully contributing too, although I'm not that au fait with 'bicycle speak', so some of it may go straight over my head .

Hello Birdie. I thought you might have bought a Birdy rather than a Raleigh, but welcome just the same.

Hello and

Thanks everyone for the welcome. What a lovely bunch of people! In answer to 'alicat' - I live in Chelmsley wood (for my sins ). Although a 5 minute cycle gets me to Coleshill and then out into the sticks! My mom's family came from your neck 'o' the woods 'alicat - Cannock. And yes 'Cycleops', that would make more sense!, but my Raleigh came looooong before my obsession with the birdies!
