I think I will go out for a ride once I finish this
and then see about tidying the kitchen.

Well what did I expect for a Pinarello for ÂŁ50? The chap selling it wasn't gilding the lillies when he said that the frame was in a poor state with paint flaking off, seat post seized, might be of use to someone. 
Well I came along. At the time it was up for sale at ÂŁ70 but seeing that I had shown interest and he wanted space in his shed he said that I could have it for ÂŁ50. So I didn't hang about.
It was in a bit of a state! If you didn't look at the corrosion it looked pretty good apart from the white measles. The red paint had loads of chips and white undercoat was showing through. The wheel rims looked like they had sat in water as they had corrosion on them but cleaned up with some fine wet and dry. They are Mavic Elite so pretty good. The measles have gone. I touched them in with red paint. The bike rides well and I have since tackled one nasty area of corrosion on the crossbar. The seat tube and down tube need doing hence the need for paint.

Bummer! It wouldn't be so bad if the flat bit was at the top.

Ah, a mushroom ramekin! I knew my kitchen was missing something.
True!
If I'd have been somewhere safe I'd have got the Brommie out of the boot & ridden the rest of the way.. đź‘Ť

Well it's SNIB, Same News I'm bored.
Evening meal is in the slow cooker.
Garage is tidy, bike was washed yesterday.
Camper batteries are in the rack and on trickle charge.
It looks nice out, know where this leading....... take the Primus and stuff and brew a coffee at the coast, somewhere.
