They are definitely not pretty but usable 😀

Front wheel has been removed and cleaned/re-greased. Awaiting the arrival of the new inner tube & tyres. Looking at the rim except for the surface rust it does look structurally sound which is good. I will look to replacing the rim for an alloy one in the future👍

Will do!

What’s the Benefits of alloy rims?

I would like to take it apart and do it properly so I appreciate the video! I will watch it and hopefully learn a thing or two. So if it’s just surface rust they will be usable for the time being.

Recently acquired a triumph traffic master! I have been eyeing up one of these small shopper bikes for a while now and was really glad when one appeared for sale locally on gumtree. After only a short ride around the block I have to say these bikes are extremely comfortable. It needs quite a bit...

Thankyou very much for the advise. I’m going to start with buying a bar with some rise and then go from there. Il make sure I get one that’s 25.4mm aswel. Yeah I’m really enjoying cleaning up the bike and putting my own twist on it! Like you say for £30 aswel it’s a great bike

Thanks for the offer but sadly I’m based down south but appreciate it! Il give the bar twisting a go though✌️

Like I said it just feels like you’re slightly leaning forward on it with my weight on my wrists. I’d just prefer it if it could be a bit more up right

I’ve been out on the bike at the weekend and I could do with the handlebars being higher. Have you got any stem/handle bar recommendations? I’ve been looking online but I thought I’d ask? Thanks

I’ve just ordered myself a pair of these thanks to your recommendation. I couldn’t believe how cheap they were. I’ve never heard of this company but the reviews online seem pretty good! How have you found them? Any issues? It’s also a great website! I can definitely see my self spending some...

After a bit of tinkering the bike fits much better thanks for all of the pointers! I’m after some tyres that will only be used for 40% road riding and 60% gravel. We’re not talking anything crazy! No jumps & no racing etc.. i just want a confidence inspiring tyre I can use comfortably on the...

Much appreciated! Il give all these little tips a try and see what works. My first challenge though is subtly bringing the bike into the lounge so I can work on it in the warm. Let’s see how that goes down with the other half, fingers crossed😂

After this photo was taken I raised the seat ever so slightly but I guess that wouldn’t affect my handle bar reach too much. I’ve had a search of these zero offset seat posts that you recommended and it makes complete sense as like you said this would enable me to reduce the stretch by a few cm...

I guess riding styles have changed over the years which is not necessarily a negative thing but my plans are to use this bike for days out. Mostly gravel tracks like the Downs-Link and I’m also considering signing up for the London to Brighton. I will have to look into a few minor upgrades to...
