Scottish Retro Bikers

[JustKev]

Welcome fella. Look forward to seeing that '89 Offroad Master. It has Suntour parts as standard with a Flexstem - one of my mates Simon used to ride one to school. His bars were cut down to about 16" :shock:

Tis very nice to see so many of my fellow clansmen on here- any suggestions for macretro meets are very welcome

First race this year at the grand old age of 37 but up for some more- see you all at the SSUK champs.

Me as well.

Never raced (though I am doing the Bennachie Mountain Duathlon on Feb 22nd if that counts). More into epic rides in the hills and using the bike to shorten walk-ins to the big crags.

Overbury's Pioneer is in bits ahead of a full refurb so will be riding <hangs head in shame> modern </hangs head> for a while.

fatfixie you just named pretty much all the shops I used to visit

(bar City Cycles in rodney street - I got the GT frame from there, and Sandy Wallace who built my wheels)

I got my bullseyes from williamsons in the january sales, I got there about 7 in the morning to make sure I would get them.
