I finally found some time to push this one on a bit. I pressed in the headset cups and then got the BB sorted too. This is a bit of pain without a bearing press; I drifted in one side and then pressed the other cartridge bearing onto the axle with a suitable dia bit of tubing. Then I froze this...

What a bargain!

All the new decals are now here, HLloyd, BicycleDecals and random eBay for the Union Jack. Inching ever closer!

Do you have a before and after picture of your saddle? Good to see the pictures from the day. 👍

Bump, still looking.

AI slop ruining the internet as usual. 😉 The book you mention is however excellent, and well worth the money. Beautiful presentation, great photography of the bikes and a wealth of historic detail on many marques I knew next to nothing about.

Thanks George! Celebrating it's 5 year anniversary in my ownership this summer. It's now my most ridden bike, an all year, all weather commuter. Mileage is about 22000km since 2020. I'll have to do a bit of an update/mini review on how the build and components have stood up to it all.

Ah I see, no we use each service's own app and choose whatever programme from within the app. Sorry if that means I cna't answer your question! Does the Roku even have an aerial port? The little box is so small I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

I've had a Roku for a couple of years, we watch Iplayer/Netflix/ITVX etc etc, all works over Wifi.

A real crime against good taste. That Rolson pump really is the cherry on the cake. 😵

Hi all, anyone had any joy contacting H Lloyd recently? I had been having a short email discussion on a small custom decal and now all my email replies bounce, the site chat has no response and their phone number doesn't connect.

Absolutely super work. Nicely done. 😁

So here we go, guards are brushed and rubbed down before a light Autosol buffing. Didn't need to mirror polish as the rest of the componentry will be showing it's age a bit too. 😁

Ahh we already talked! Too wide sadly 😭 Beautiful wheels though, otherwise perfect!

Great project, really enjoying your photos! I have a TT project of similar vintage coming up soon so it's fun to see your component choices. 😁

I meant things like making the brake hoods for DA and 600 ever so slightly different, along with the mounting band being a different, incompatible design. All designed to frustrate me it seems!

Neil McGowran's reflections on this are well worth reading: https://dentoncycles.co.uk/2017/12/01/shimano-dura-ace-7400-7401-7402-7403-7410-series-road-component-system-1984-1996/ Whilst there are annoyances with how Shimano did certain things like deliberate incompatibility of parts between...

Just been visiting NI and saw this rather amazing rail 'bike' in the Ulster Transport Museum.

Yes quite a few models had them specced so it seemed appropriate!
