yep she's coming on better than i expected, just wish i could get a leather brooks saddle for her.

will keep searching, but for now the avocet that was on her will do for now.

 

[ollyb83]

a hell of a difference from when i first brought her home.

Its crying out for large flange hubs and polished alloy rims

I have to agree...

these wheels are temporary.

The original ones are now stripped down and cleaned, unfortunately the rims are badly pitted, but the hubs and spokes are good, so i'm on the look out for a pair of 27 x 1 1/4 rims (cant remember if they are 32 or 36 hole).

I think I have a pair of Weinmann Alloy 27" x 1 1/4" if your interested, I'd have to check out how many holes

 

[ollyb83]

definately interested, i'll check the hubs tomorrow after work and let you know the hole count

very nice bike is there anywhere in the uk that can re-colour chrome.
