    Raleigh Twenty 1978

    A few pics from my rather humble project, this was a very rusty 1978 Raleigh Twenty Nova I originally picked up for my daughter. Turns out she isn't keen on such a 'big girls bike', her loss is my gain as this is now my commute to work bike...

    Gazelle AB frame *with modern content*

    Hello Been lurking here for a wee while so thought I'd post up pics of my latest ride, a Gazelle Champion Mondial from 1988. I'm doing a few time trials on it just now so it's ketted out with a 10sp Microshift group, I plan to acquire something more period as I go along but groupset aside this...
