Noticed last night the rear tyre on my R.E.W was on the soft side and upon closer inspection the sidewall were all cracked and flaky , so thought it's time i fitted a set of Panracer pasella's i have laying around .
I hate folding tyres always a pain to get seated and sure enough 3 times it blew off the rim , so left it at a lower pressure and if it's on the rim in the morning i will give it a ride to make sure it's seated .
Might be selling the R.e.w reynolds which the frame was built by Kevin Sayles whilst he was woking at Woodrup's

Longest ride so far for the white Thame
Just over 21 miles but all very nice and incident free including a few hills.
Hopefully I can start getting the yellow mystery one ready for riding this week.

The white Thame had another 20+ mile ride on bank holiday monday which went well.
Handed over my Fahrrad to its new owner earlier on today
And tonight just fitted a set of Rubino slick's to some rims that have slipped in place on the yellow unknown possibly another Thame ready for a test ride tomorrow

Initial shake down ride completed on the yellow peril needs a few adjustments to the limit screws but all in all not too bad.
And it didn't feel too small which surprised me but will await a longer ride or two before making a final comment.

Well quick update the white Thame completed a 50 mile ride yesterday taking it over the 100 miles since my ownership began. Still a few niggles to sort but overall a very nice riding machine.
The yellow machine has just had its longest ride to date at 20 miles with 2 previous 5 mile shakedown rides . So early days for this one I expected it to feel really small but so far it doesn't. It is a lively ride and like the white one it wants to go fast rather than like some bikes just seem happy pootling about.
