Took a few daylight pics and as I mentioned elsewhere not one for the purists
Did try and incorporate the new stuff as tastefully as possible, so hope it looks that way.
Sorry if its not quite in the spirit of retro, but wanted a rider not a museum exhibit with this one

Nice :cool: - I like it, ummm, lots.

Have you put tyre blackener on them Kendas :shock: :LOL:

Seriously tho, they are a really good tyre - a mate has some on his modern ride, and he gets some right grip over the wet stuff - ok they're sh!te in mud, but for an autumn :shock: tyre, get 'em on......
 
Original… A Merlin is over all fashions… :cool: :cool: :D

But… put this suspension fork away :?
And you'll discover a new toy

And the physio will find a new patient when my shoulder separates again

But I would have agreed with you in my younger more supple days, in fact it did have a Pace RC30 on it originally
