a friend of mine recently acquired this bike, it is a soens racer.
i dont have a clue about it's history, but it looks like at some stage it would have had centre pull brakes.
it looks like a nice frame & fork. but the components seem a bit low end.
my friend wants me to get it running for him.
all he has specified up to now is he wants the brakes updating & some new tyres and some thicker handlebar tape.
so can anyone tell me more about the bike.
and suggest some brakes & tyres.
i think it would be nice to go with some retro centre pull brakes.
and the guy who owns the bike is a little podgy so i suppose he wants a more comfy tyre rather than for pure speed.
many thanks in advance. jeff.
sorry for the photo quality, i had to retake them at a lower resolution off the computer screen.
