Re:

Hello again.

After its first blast and only a couple of very minor adjustments, i managed to get out this morning ( could'nt ask for better weather ).., nice 'n' easy local trail ride and a newly found route, stopping half way to take in the views from Hardwick hall in derbyshire.

Now i know its safe and working as it should, its now time to hand it over to my better half, who has yet to have a go..

Thank you to all have been watching this bike/build/thread and all the comments, i know its been exactly a year since buying it, and i think ive done the right thing keeping its patina...

Hope every one likes it

Some photo's from this morning

Hi Gio, Hope you're well..
Cheer's mate, glad you like it.. it took a while to get to this point , i think riding it for the last year, and getting a feel for it, and then all the comments whilst out thrashing it... pointed me in the right direction..
And most of all, the missis is more than happy

Bye for now.

Re:

Just an up date with this bike. "the finishing touch"

All good things come to he who waits, to be exact its been over 2 months to find a set of these, but worth the wait..

Yet again, ebay USA saves the day , and not a bad price either $8.50 + cheap postage, happy days

Brilliant quote on the back of the packaging :

"Faster & faster untill the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death"

Will post a photo soon, with the grips fitted..
