[biggs682]

Looks like I have another bike with guard's fitted .

Just back from rescuing this one owner from new bike from another few years in the shed , afters its aged rider gave up riding aprox 5 years ago and finally decided to let somebody else enjoy it . Its the strada 401 Titanium model .

Along with the bike came 2 x boxes & bags of assorted spares , a couple of very nice Brook's saddle .

And a full set of used once panniers an a nice old caradice

The shoes are Specialized Rockhopper MTB shoes. I've used the same for years. In fact can't think what to replace them with

That's a jolly splendid cycle sir! I like that very much! Is it bonded into the lugs or welded?

Looks in great nick. I've got a soft spot for dynatech / m trax stuff from Raleighs "special projects shed."
That's a great find.

Thanks its a bit dusty but should clean up nice enough

Had a rummage through the bits and bobs this morning that came with the bike and found these two tools

Along with a nice pr of hubs with the rear being a flip flop one and a selection of other older tools , so all in all gets a thumbs up .

Will be commuting on it today after giving it a quick once over and swapping the stem out so i can be more comfy on it .

Smashing bike Mr B. Not only that but your photographs are really good ! I guess you use a "proper" camera and not the one on your phone ?

No camera phone. And thanks.

First commute done and impressed Indeed .

Sorry about the stem and converter but couldn't find a quill stem suitable. Just need to rotate the bars to suit and swap the saddle over .

I've got the bike but none of the kit to go with it! It's my going for a wander down at the beach bike - a great machine for a meander and supremely comfortable
