I rode a bit 20 odd years ago as a supplement to my athletics training but haven't done anthing for a good few years
Last year I decided to get back on dragged the old peugeot out of the shed, got it serviced and went out
I found that I didn't seem to get on with the bike like I used to andy after changing the saddle rode it a few more times then went back to trying to get fit by reading lots about how to get fit
Now I am ready to give it another punt but I really would like to upgrade the old friction gears
Can this be easily done, require wholesale (expensive) changes or is it not possible
I have been told different things ranging from "the bikes too old to buy anything to fit" to 300 odd quid from an LBS
Or should I just get a new bike (the btwin threads have made me wonder)
Btw I will post some more pics of my dad racing in the 50's like I promised last year! !!
