Show us your steel.....its real...

[Ian H]

I haven't actually seen it yet, just a few photos. With the looming lockdown it might be a while until I can lay hands on it.

That’s very nice, what are your plans for it?

This is my latest bit of steel. Reynolds 653, should start building it up next weekend.

We've got it on our tandem and there's something about it, for sure.

I find ours excellent on downhills, but I've fitted a rodeo saddle in place of the Selle Italia

New bike day!

New (to me) giant peloton 7200. Late 90's. Cromo 4130. Shimano rsx. Cheap, cheerful. And I love it.

I didn't need a new bike, but non compact frames don't come up in my tiny size v often, and I saw it and treated myself.

Just need to swap over bars for my narrow 38mm, better saddle and 165 TA triple chainset for a decent high (low?) gear.

excuse the rubbish pic. But it's dark. And I'm excited
