Just got something in the post to annoy the fashion police... (click for big)





Few jobs to do on this one. Tyres are dryrotted and too skinny for warrington roads, needs a bloody good clean, and the rims are totally worn out. I'll be looking for another couple of these weinmann concaves, or I could just save up and rebuilt with Mavic open pros instead. Does anyone know where I can get a new downtube sticker made up?

Bonus: My first road bike, plus minging old house. Found this in at the dump, back when I was hard up. I bent the back axle AND the bottom bracket spindle ramping it out of the container and rode it like that for weeks, just because it was so much better than the halfords mountain bikes I was used to.


It's now becoming a pretty princess in it's own right:
