Took the kids on the sky ride in Hull today and was nice to see some vintage stuff riding around. - wish I'd taken mine instead of mtb now.
Must say that my steel bikes ride nice compared to my carbon.
Anyone on here into their road bikes?

 I also have my 91 Rockhopper frame and fork -owned since new, repainted by Argos in Bristol before I moved. BITD I raced it for a season and wore out the Suntour X-1 bits. The frame has survived though and is set to return as a black retro/modern! Current plan is black Mavic rims on Black Deore hubs, black Deore groupset. Bit "meh?" well I might be swayed into Saint -love the black and gold combo. I want to stick with cantis though for definite -they tie the bike to the period. I have some XC pro levers already (black and gold  :roll: ). Would love to pair them with some Paul Touring Cantis -but they're pricy.
