The new steed ! ( My reintroduction to cycling)

[BADGER.BRAD]

About 5 years ago I had a really stupid accident on the bike and ended up with a very broken bike and a very broken me ! The MRs banned me from anything with too wheels, Because of the recovery time and the fact I moved into the countryside some distance from work I gave up, not intentionally but the biking thing just faded out . Now after five years of hardly doing anything physical I suddenly realised how unfit I was and also had some health problems creeping in due to my sedate life style. The past couple of weeks I have been thinking of how to increase my physical activity and decided on a folding bike. This way I can take the bike to work inside my car stop a distance away and bike in the rest and I can also get the bike to other places ( Canals/Old railways and such like) I only have a really small car so transporting a full size bike would be a problem. Then I spotted this near by at a really good price, I had originally thought about converting a Raleigh 20 type folder as a bit of a project but this just ticked all of the boxes and could be used straight away !

Best bit to come !

This is the best bit

It just about fits me but The seat tube is only just in so I will need to either source a longer one, I was riding it within a couple of mins of getting home everything works well and the components are of a reasonable quality there is very minimal movement in the hadle bars on one of them but this can be sorted easily.
