Alright?

[Pete-zz]

Hello all just joined up and not sure if I'm in the right place for introductions, so here I am. I'm Pete and I've just got back into the world of 90s retro bikes after a 25 year plus gap. Found a great starter project on ebay, a rather lovely Raleigh Ascender that I've just finished. I got so much joy out of the buid process I got back on ebay and bought a frame and fork set for the next project. Apologies if this is in the wrong place. Feel free to take the piss I'm no soft arse

What’s the new project?

It's an Al carter black panther. After doing some homework it seems that they were high end bikes made by......cough..townsend. but it was the right price and I like the fact I'd never heard of it.

I will post them tomorrow mate as I realised the photos I have are not up to date.

I'm going to poke the bear here but...you can do better than Al Carter. Al Carter told me that!
Hey, if it floats your boat great.

Welcome to retrobike. All shapes and sizes are appreciated here. Some more than others.

The photos don't need to be up to date. They all tell a story. We like that here.

Reunite the Al Carter with its DX kit and you’ll be creating a rare beast! Nothing wrong with them at all but many were bought and stripped as it was/is an efficient way to get a full DX groupset.
