Hello all. I am Slim, 53 years old, living in Islington, cycling to work in Chiswick most days (20 miles round trip). Ride a Peugeot PY10 made from a 1978 PY10 frame and the remains of a 1980 PKN10, found at the recycler in excellent order but with a giant (64cm - 25 inch) frame - hope it was not stolen as if I meet the man who lost it he is likely to be pretty big...
Also rode a lot of fixed wheel on and off track, a few years before it became trendy, on a 1950 Claud Butler lugless, my second 1950s Claud.
Have a granny bike too, a US-made Raleigh Technic with glued together alloy tubes - yes, really! Very good bike, again free from the recycler, just had to find a front wheel.
Am looking off a 1980s Peugeot computer like this one that was stolen off my Peugeot: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=114627
when the whole bike was nicked. I got it back - good story about it here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67267&highlight=stolen+recovered
See, dreams do come true sometimes...
Cheers
Slim
