What have I done? Carlton Corsa finished - it's gone from blue to orange!

Thanks, and so do I. But it's getting a 15 year-old riding a classic bike. He's already had loads of questions and even had a radio interview at a charity ride.

That's brilliant mate.

Brief photo in use at a TT - he raced fixed and the photo won me £300-ish worth of stuff from Continental after I stuck it on their Facebook page asking what people were doing on New Year's Day;

I have to say that bike looks really good! How did he get on in the TT?

First fixed, although only fixed.

10th overall out of 35. About 15 were on TT bikes, the rest on road bikes

Well I would say that's a very respectable result. Well done that man!

The Carlton's been in use as transport around Nottingham, but today was time-trialled again by son no. 2 in the charity Christine Bottrill Banter Bike 4.3 mile TT with some interesting entries ...

My guess is that is his de rigeur outfit for when he's late for lectures
