Saddle replace.colour make's a change. Looks clean. Get your kit on and go for a spin. :-)

Motorists wouldn't know whether to complain about you riding two abreast though

 

[biggs682]

thats why its coming off

saddle changed along with 1 gear cable and various adjustments made as the week progressed all in all a really nice bike to ride .

Nice to see a rider who's in touch with his feminine side, and not afraid to show it in public.

Saying that it looks really smart. It's a nice paint job to be fair; i do hate fades along tubing, but that looks like a great bike.

Please don't say it's going to be a fixie project...

I've been fortunate to see that bike up close. It's a beaut, with a nice Shimano light action set up and an interesting history. Tasty.

 

[biggs682]

no to fixie its going to be used for commuter till Sun Truwel comes back from lbs for final refit , then it will be sold on , as cant get too attached to a bike

Never ridden a bike with downtube shifters. Are they easy to get on with?

 

[Norm]

Aside from a small issue with cable length on the brakes, and the (now-removed) saddle, that looks lovely.

 

[Miquel In De Rain]

It's pink!

Get a pink saddle then.

 

[DCLane]

And pink tyres, pink bar tape, pink cable outers, etc.
