Hi all.
I've been guided towards this site from a friend.
I inherited my late brothers bike which I know was his pride and joy but due to his ill health spent approx 3years in a lock up unused.
I brought it home last year while sorting his affairs out.
I had no idea what type of bike it was until I asked and posted pics on my running club triathlon page where a few members were delighted to see the retro girl.
She needed a complete service and some well overdue tlc so the only place I entrusted her to was Thatto Heath Cycles in St Helens.
I picked her up on Thursday and to say I was reduced to tears by the work they had done to bring her back up to looking like a 'happy' girl was an understatement.
I actually want to hang her above the fireplace to just look at and admire lol but be assured I have every intention of making full use of her. In my brothers memory.
