Lovely Roberts 😍 What bars are they?

My first was a 3g 1.5 s, then a 4g 1.6i-16, I wish I had kept hold of them. As you say prices are crazy. Mines in for sills and arches this summer. 250,000 miles on the same engine/box but needs welding every couple of weeks 😃

I like them 😎 Had Civics for donkeys. This is my current one

PM sent re: Sakae stem.

Looking good 😎 I'll be in this week with another bike for you to work your magic on.

If you're looking to flog the bag I'd be interested 😃

And new home found 😃

Nice Route that 👌

Nice. How do you find the Continental Tyres ?

Looking for some Deore V brake levers. Silver or possible black. Don't need to be mint, but presentable. Needed to finish a build. Anyone got any spare ? 😃

'Keep em coming' I'm so very jealous of these locations 😎

I won't be changing gear often as ill be laden with touring gear, keeping the bar end shifters for their simplicity and if things go wrong I can switch them to friction. Tried the bike with flat bars and loaded it wobbled too much.

Anyone have experience of touring with flared drop bars. The bars on the bike I'm building for some light touring are standard drop bars, and they're nearly 35 years old so may be prudent to change them. I'm using bar end shifters so the flare may hinder my hands shifting 🤔

Anyone used/rate Shimano BR-CX50 new cantilever?

Still here, don't make me turn it into a windchime bump 😃
