This is my first post on here, and also my first rebuild so please don't shoot me!
The story behind the build is that I recently took part in a leg of the WRC - BRC bike ride that Welsh rally drivers and co-drivers took part in to rise money for the Welsh Air Ambulance and Spinal Research. It was a 6 day event, starting in Holyhead in Anglesey on the monday morning and finishing in Swansea on saturday afternoon, covering some 300 miles and raising money along the way by holding nightly forums and auctions. Last year, they raised around £20,000 - this year maybe a bit more.
The leg that I did went from Aberystwyth to Carmarthen - a total of 54 miles, and because the first 10 - 12 miles of the ride was on the Ystwyth Trail, I could'nt use my road bike, therefore I had to do something........fast.
My mate bought this bike about 8 years ago, and it's been sitting in my shed ever since, so a deal was made and the bike is now mine........
