Had to re-do the Stayer All Road rear tyre again today as it was flat again this morning and after checking everything it was a small leak from the seam on the tube so one of the other repaired tubes are in as I'm waiting for new ones and so far it's holding up.

And then had to re-do one side of the bar tape on the Fairlight as it had unravelled due to the Cat Eye bar end light falling out.

Just updated the Elite trainer so there may have been an issue yesterday with the Zwift update ;also noticed an e-mail I missed yesterday with an offer on the Zwift cog and click so ordered that as it seems to be smoother than using the gears on the bike and obviously no need for a cassette.

The restoration of my £1(!) (plus 17p buyer protection) 'For Parts / Not Working' ebay Bakfiets with destroyed box and no back tyre
New tyre £20
Sheet of ply £27
Chain £10
3x cables £20
Big fark off bell £16
Just the box to varnish, box bench, seat belts and other hardware to fit, gear and rear brake cables to hook up. Rear dynamo cable to run and were done!
Its had a shunt at some point. The steering stop is bent slightly so it has more turn available to one side than the other. I dunno if that'll be a problem. Ill ride it and see.
Exciting!

Excellent work on that box. I'm looking forward to see how it looks when completed. You'll be amazed at the variety of tasks you'll end up using it for.

Fettled yesterday, when I broke a spoke coming back from a ride on the Galaxy. Rear drive side, of course. Got away with leaving the tyre & tube on & the nipple in the rim :-) The benefits of greasing your spoke threads, folks!

SWMBO put one on her father's grave as a plant pot as he was a keen gardener.

Got this one all finished up and it left with a happy owner.
