This got its first spin of spring on Sunday so I thought I'd put up some photos to celebrate. Especially as the old thread for this has lost all its photographs and these are the first decent ones I've ever got round to taking. I guess I also have the alterior motive of having stuck it in the RBOTM nominations! Anyway, nice to be at that time of year finally...

Oh now that is nice. I keep thinking about a classic build like this but how would I ever ride it round the hilly West Yorkshire terrain surrounding my house?
What a beauty - I can't stop scrolling up and down to look at the pictures!

Mark.
 
Thanks for all the nice comments.

Mark - Maybe you'd have to take it on holidays, off to some flatter lands! Or with a double fixed hub, a really large cog for up the hills, and a tiny one for back down!
