[Biker Joe]

Hi and a very warm to you.
I'm impressed with the bikes.

 

[rbreid]

Thankyou all for the very warm welcome

Hi Scoosh, thanks for the welcome. No more 80 to 100 mile days averaging 18mph anymore. 30 miles is about the limit at circa 10 to 12mph and a coffee shop halfway is essential!!! Maybe 4 times a week but I still love being out on the bikes.

sounds fair enough to me

Hello....cool collection!

Hello fellow chatterers, first let me introduce you to the important personalities in reverse date order:-
2000 Mercian Vincitore touring
mid 60's Holdsworth Hurricane
1961 Flying Scot Continental
1960 Jensen Super Professional
1954 Hill Special (Billy Hill prototype, frame No 3 of 4 made) Single speed flip flop
1951 Hercules (Kestrel?) Path racer

Somewhat less important
1951 home made biped, called Robert showing signs of age. 2 speed (dead slow and stop) not so much flip flop as just plain floppy. Retired from a life time of working on/riding/building/selling bikes. Recently upgraded with an I.C.D. Had own bike shop for 15 years till I realized that it won't be long before a bike needs plugged into a computer for a diagnostic faultfind
Been lingering and like the atmosphere on this site friendly helpful and inclusive so took the plunge and enlisted! So hello everyone

Hello and welcome, that's an amazing bike list you have there!!

 

[AndyRM]

The Hercules is stripped and frame off for shiny new paint. Should be back in a week or so. Build pics then....promise.
