I could see Sheppey on my ride today but didn't brave it over the bridge (beyond there be monsters).

Man, that is beautiful. Wish I had the cash, I'm only down the road....

Thanks for the input guys. The QR on the rear brake is off as the rear wheel had just been taken off for fiddling with the hub, but thanks for the heads up. The paint is quite tatty but I love the colour. It is a bit tricky to photograph, but it is a kinda white pearl metallic. I'll...

I replaced the brake pads and cables when I first got the bike so that is sorted. What kind of mech would you recommend? I'm also wondering if I might respray the fram too. A mate has a car bodyshop and has offered to do it for free if I do the stripping down...

I bought this as my first foray into road biking about 6 months ago. I didn't pay much for it but after six months of abuse I'm deciding whether it is worth doing a bit of a restoration job on it over the winter. I have done a little bit of light restoration on it to keep it roadworthy, and as...

Yep, I know they are rubbish. The bearings in mine are on their way out and I'd just like to keep the bike original until I decide how and what to upgrade with. Cheers!

Until recently this was my commuter- a 91' Trek 800 Budget spec I know, but a lot of fun. My Dad bought it new and I spent last winter getting it back on the road after ten years sat in the shed.
