and more

To say it was thrown together for the Repack ride without a shakedown, at not one point on that ride did I think I need suspension or better brakes or gears or anything. It absolutely lived up to the dream I had of what it would be like and Dr’s S photo of me in profile perfectly captures the image I’d had in my head for all these years of what it would be like. Thank you Si.

That is very cool.

I have a conquest from a round 84/85, great bike to ride - or it was until I bent the forks :(

Those HALO tyres look good on it too - might get some of those for mine as there is yonks of tyre clearance :D
