A small update , on what seems a life time to source !

You would think a simple Shimano Quick release skewer would be easy to find ? wrong ,it took a few months.

But was worth the wait, NOS

Bit of an update on the old '88 Wicked, this has been my main rider and I enjoy riding this allot.

Had a few tweaks over the winter so far :

Firstly , due to one of my L&M cranks snapping ( too much pushing on the hills ) I have replaced them with some Shimano ones which I think look great.
I have replaced the front Cantilevers for some older style one which look more period correct
Also changed is the business end , the 150mm Stem has been swapped out for an identical replacement,only 130mm long.The bars have also been replaced

Finally a fresh set of Decals as the originals were in a rough state ( very thick and strong and took some removing.)
