Very shiny Sun Worksop - WARNING...fixed wheel 'nonsense'

I've followed that post recently....jealously :roll:

Loving the Suzuki, a little off-road for me...back in the day i had 650 Katana, grey, red and shaft drive outrageous. Sold it and kept a BMW K75S, should have stayed with the Suzuki :cry:

Bicycles are much more fun though....

My old TS100 was 30 years old this year. Its still runs sweet.

I keep coming back for another look - I really do love this. I'm with Johnny69 - it looks smashing loaded with accessories. Really nice to see Spokesmann's Constellation again too.

Inevitably spent an hour last night trying to find a fully chromed bike in my size on the fleabay...

Jeez with something that hefty you could probably invade the low-countries ...


Brilliant labour of love mate ...

Once again thanks for the positive comments....

Goldie - i spent ages looking for f + f and they all seem to be tiny. Clearly people were shorter back in the day

Bikenut - It is a touch portly. Flats and slight inclines are ace. You get those 27'' wheels spinning and you fly. A hint of wind or a more bracing incline and you could push a sherman tank more quickly! No use for cardio vascular stuff but my legs are going to be HUUGGE :roll: Plenty of room for weaponry in the saddlebag.

Jobs left to do....

I'm going to try and repaint some old wheel nuts with s's on them to jazz it up a bit.

Maybe have a go at changing the spokes for stainless ones.

If the braking is trousers on the chrome rims in the snow i may have to change the wheelset. Found someone on ebay who will make up an alloy fixed free 27'' wheelset.

Red glass paint might help with the painting for the 'S' nuts...

Cheers for that. was going to also try enamel. I'll have a go at making a mould out of something like rubber and stamping i t on. Let you know how it goes.
