Itching to get back on my bike's
- Location
- Northamptonshire
not a newbie been on here since Dec 2007 .
i enjoy my riding just dont do enough of it these days
i enjoy as many already now tinkering with retro racers and then selling them on , some if lucky get kept and ridden and most importantly enjoyed .
at over 50 i have only ridden 3 bikes with sti's so yes i enjoy down tube shifting .
current crop of bikes are
W Pollard track/path frame which is my main commuter
An unknown parentage yellow peril racer from early 80's acts as my spare commuter at present
A Ridgeback Horizon bought from a n other cc'er mid way through the year but only used for 20 miles so far(dont ask)
Ian May aero Tubed 80's racer bought from a n other cc'er and is a real cracker to ride and look at
An 80's Dawes Imperial that has spent its whole life apart from the last 10 months strapped to a turbo trainer
A 90's Peugoet Optima racer just finished bolting it back together unsure of future
A Raleigh Venture mtb style Tandem
Marin mtb Bear valley owned since new used and abused but sits on turbo trainer now
Trex alpha 1.1 frame set awaiting build
not sure if i missed any bikes out but will check in garage and loft and advise
happy christmas all of you , please shout if ever you are on the look out for aother bike as you never know whats stashed in the garage
