Re: Re: You only have to look back through the rich history of the UK to see that it has been invaded many times over, so many of the people who moan about immigrants probably stem from one. :mrgreen: Maybe people should research their family tree and then go back to where they originally...

Personally, regarding the "foreigners coming over ere taking are jobs", if someone who can't speak English well, or write well, with not much of a CV gets chosen for a job in place of an English person, then it doesn't say much about the English person. :lol:

UKIP lovers say that UKIP aren't bigots, homophobic or racists, then a UKIP candidate says something racist, homophobic or bigoted, and makes the party look racist/bigoted/homophobic. Said member quits or is sacked, party says they aren't "blah,blah,blah", another UKIP candidate says something...

Re: Re: I was after a bike to get me to work, was bored of riding my GT with bouncy forks and knobbly tyres, so decided to get my old speed demon on the road. Didn't cost much and means I have three bikes to pick from now. :)

My Pioneer, with some modern bits, a work in progress.

Here is mine, needs a wash, and a tidy up. It gets used almost daily, no idea on year but guessing it is a later one. Has the name of the original guy who ordered the bike emblazoned onto the frame. Would love to get it resprayed original.

I've heard of people pressing out the current Inch 1/8 steerer and fitting an Inch steerer kit, with an Inch threadless headset. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to say for sure on the best action. What frame is it? As the frame may not have the right dimensions, sizes for sus...

Re: Re: Cheers, very good of you, I'm pretty proficient at bike repair, fix cars for a living. Built most of my BMX myself, including rear wheel, still going strong after 16+ years. :D Just useless with bike history and what is rare/good/collectable LOL

Re: Hello, I'm new here and have an Overbury's. Thanks for the welcome, nice welcome from all, :D Didn't realise the following these bikes had, I thought I was one of the lone people who had a soft spot for it, :lol:

Re: Hello, I'm new here and have an Overbury's. BB picture. And name. Is very dirty, and still has glue/double sided tape from Shark fin that was fitted.

Re: Hello, I'm new here and have an Overbury's. Cheers retroyetiguy and Gravy Monster, the forks to me are one of the stand out things, along with the smooth joints on some of the tubes. I notice the seat clamp is on the front on mine, many are on the rear. Mine also has the name of the guy...

Will do, :) Not nowhere near as clean as yours though! Can be found in my first few posts under my name. :)

You replaced the front ring? Looks well worn in the picture, :( Is a lovely bike though. :)

Re: Hello, I'm new here and have an Overbury's. Cheers Sinnerman, be good to see some pics of yours. :) I love the way the front fork flexes, like a slight suspension shock absorber, presuming it was designed this way. I added the plastics, LOL, I ride a lot, all weathers, I do 10 miles in my...

Re: Re: For the moment, enjoy riding it, I have had the bike for 16 years roughly, I rode it to work years ago, 10 miles a day, then got lazy and drove, the bike sat in the garage and bits got removed or were just worn. This year I decided I missed riding it, was bored of riding my GT Avalanche...
