Here's my partners ride..rather well loved! I've had this Shasta since 2003 and kept it going/it's kept going!
Few components have been changed on it since I have had it except the usual maintenance and the odd 'creative technical modification' such as the wooden stem cap! - a temporary fix around 8 years ago but it works so why move it? But I wonder whats under there now I chucked some Onza barends on it and Mavic wheels/slicks and that's it I think..
Paint job was a fluoro Orange but with UV exposure its gone to a rather a Kleinesque linear fade Orange to Pink
Its a bit cluttered with a pannier, mudguard and chain guard- I reluctantly fitted this as Laura is fed up of her flares getting chewed in the chain ..yes I know..
Its the family workhorse. We use it to get the shopping done. It takes Laura to work everyday and she tows our 23 month old son & various kit around in his trailer through the Forest of Dean trails while I'm leaping about freely on rougher stuff
We love this bike and are toying with getting a new original paint job / decals. How much would they cost/Who do Iask on here?
