No, I've only had it a month

I was going to do a veteren ride on it yesterday but we all went to the pub instead

 

[tyred]

Very nice. Does it weigh under 20lb?

It's that level of commitment that put the Great into Great Britain!

What sort of weight are old bikes like that HD?

Edit: just seen tyred's post but worth asking twice eh!

 

[tyred]

It looks to be quite a low gear ratio. Are those 26" wheels?

 

[Hilldodger]

Wheels are 28" and weight is just slightly over 30lbs.

My 1895 racer weighs 27lbs.

 

[tyred]

Reasonably light then.

If those are 28" wheels, it must be a very big frame by modern standards.
