...and this arrived today 😍

That may have been a 'budget' build in terms of cash outlay but as far as the work put in is concerned, it looks a million Dollars! :cool:

Now I'm wondering how 60-year-old me will cope with 30-year-old me's riding geometry! :oops:

:D...I already couldn't resist the temptation, some of them are already fitted! Original saddle all the way from Italy is currently perched on a USE post, soon to be replaced with the Kona post I thought was a Thomson. Silver Brahma bar now has XT thumbies with original Curve levers, but I'm...

...but I'd REALLY like another of these, exactly this colour scheme, except a 19" It was my first' proper' MTB back in the early '90s, and my last until I joined here, and I commuted 100's of miles on it until it was stolen while my brother was borrowing it! :mad: I've often looked for...

Well, considering I wasn't going to spend any money on this, just ride it, I'm now into a new pair of amber wall slicks, three seat posts, two saddles, two Jagwire cable kits, a NOS Brahma bar, a stem adaptor, and from the spares boxes; a silver Ahead stem, a Brahma Bar, a pair of XT thumbies...

Pretty bike...:cool:

Nice... ...I've never been able to justify to cost of a Pace fork, I just fit fatter tyres! 🤪

Re: Re: Cheers, and thanks for the ID, I hadn't got that far with the catalogues... :roll:

Re: As the title says, I know this is 'only' a modest Cindercone but I've always liked them, and this model in particular, even if I did have to ask what year it is! Now, though, I'm more excited about a bike than I have been in ages! I bought it not intending to spend any money on it but I...

Originally built with flat bars, the On-One Mary bars place this firmly in the 'Cruiser' category...

This was mine, sadly now moved on to pastures new since this was taken...

Re: Re: That's the 'Saracen' Kili Wot in my Sig. that usually gets some peoples danders up when I call it that... :wink:

A chance fb promo for new Retrobike apparel tempted me out of the shadows, so I thought I'd Post something as a break from sitting at my bench soldering! My old blue bike shed finally had to go to make way for my new workshop, so I used the opportunity to give the bikes a better home too... 8)
