Re: Terry, not heard from you - so for now I've removed my mobile contact from the post. Let me know if you are still interested.

Re: Hi Terry - anytime this weekend would be fine with a bit of notice. Weekdays at the moment is a bit difficult - I’m working from home, but about 8 hours a day on conference calls!

Re: Hi Terry Oversight on my part - I should have mentioned where I live! Yes, I'm in Rugby - so not too far from you. You are welcome to come have a look at the bike and try it out. Looks like I can't send a PM as I'm a newbie or haven't posted enough yet. Drop me a text/call if you'd like...

Re: When I 'weighed' ( pun intended :D ) it up - refurbishing an old frame just made sense. I was quite surprised once it was stripped down, just how light wieght it is. I didn't go too overboard on the groupset, thinking that we might change it to a 1x10/11 after the winter. Seems to change...

I think I may have a battle with the other half over changing the forks back! This was the 'half way house' as she really wanted a new bike, but I couldn't bring myself to buy one when there are so many out there that can be brought back to life! I have another project which needs a set of...

Hi to all, Fantastic forum, love the content and memories browsing through all the 'old' bikes from my younger years. Recently decided to retake to two wheels and picked up a couple of bikes from eBay for a bit of restoration. I used to have a P7 many, many years ago - so found a used Orange...
