Riding that in the drops would be intense :D

The spec of these bikes is quite wayward. Perhaps cashflow prohibited big orders of components - most of the kit ended up being similar but not the same from bike to bike. Mine had a BE head tube decal and CE downtube decals :D

I think in the timeframe of the bikes here BE and CE would have been the same company.

The Touristique seems to have got and held a rep in touring circles. I have the Coventry Eagle version....I can't really say anything nice about the rest of the Coventry Eagle range at the time. Some competent 531 bikes and then some lower spec bikes that are unexceptional. Possibly the least...

https://www.facebook.com/share/1Aet6Phaw7/ Fully loaded though not sure about the cut down guards. £150 but seller is open to offers. Highly regarded touring bike! If you don't believe me have a look at the comments here.

https://www.facebook.com/share/1CBmSp5JNJ/ Looks like deadstock to a commercial seller.

Thanks for posting @ChromeChainstay - I only skimmed this, but it looks great - beautifully shot and edited - and not the same hackneyed old narrative of a cycling film. You need to watch in youtube to get the subtitles. Going to watch the whole thing when I get time.

Dinitrol is mucky but works - and is cost effective:

Top historic thread boost of the day!

Summary: he's got a bent past and its possible he could have a bent present - but he's too powerful for us to actually come out and say as much, explicitly. The article doesn't mention Pipeoli and JJ Cobo, two more busted dopers under the tutelage of Mr Gianetti. Him and Vino have more...

Romney Marsh to be more specific. https://www.facebook.com/share/17CsYr5CJ7/ Have asked seller to confirm if this really is free free.

Take a bump: Crazy low money for such a great bike...a Mercian for less than £200 FGS!

Would those be the stock decals for this bike when new? They really make the bike look cheap IMO, Raleigh Activator-esque.

The once ubiquitous and now much thinner on the ground Ribble Audax. Any colour you like as long as its blue. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/388515979288

I think Germany really embraced the hybrid (trekking bike) didn't they?

I would be interested at a ton, but at double that...its been there for months. I'd only want to fit drops and brifters anyway and tell everbody it was retro gravel time.

This keeps burning a hole in my watch list: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116316695815 But...I remember eschewing this kind of bike quite vehemently in the early 90s and insisting on a 26" MTB and then fitting slicks. To my early 20s self hybrids were fuddy duddy and just more trad, in my...

Its a bit like looking at whats on in the cinema and each time you look there is a new film with Pedro Pascal in it - and you think to yourself 'I'm glad Pedro Pascal has some work, I hadn't seen him in anything for so long'. :)

I'm glad you managed to bag a tourer @winjohn - I was becoming concerned you didnt have enough of em :D

I adminre your optomism....but feel even if it started its going to run like a bag of spanners till you do a carb strip/clean.
