Soooo being bored through lockdown I decided to sell some bikes and buy some new ones.
Ones that I liked BITD.
Some time was spent on eBay and on here and here are my 4 new additions.
First up was a very original 1992 Cannondale M1000.
All this needed was tyres and a new cassette.
Next was a 1997 Marin Mount Vision.
Had to put some XT bits back on it, still need a crank but that will happen at some point.
Then I saw a Klein Pulse Race frame for sale on here. Ok it's a Trek made Klein but to me it is still a lovely bike and it certainly rides very well.
This was made up of bits around the garage and a pair of forks sourced from eBay.
Finally a very battered Orange C16R was spotted on eBay. So fancied a chance at restoring it. Still needs some new tyres, but these will do for now. Also waiting for a new decal set to arrive, so photoshopped these in.
I have to say I am loving this lockdown. It's certainly keeping me busy.
