Whilst I still havent yet done much to the bike , here is a blog update . http://stealbikes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/0 ... arpet.html

had a look at the saddle today . It is VERY dry . I think though it will benefit from a feed . I've decided I will apply some nourishment , as suggested . IF it looks worse or the result is in some way undesirable , I'll just fit one of my many other perfectly fine saddles , probably that San...

rambling bike restoration blog update with potentially unrelated vintage magazine scan ... http://stealbikes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/0 ... -weft.html

Saw one just today. Actually glimpsed it on the housing estate near my mums last week. super recognisable obviously. Anyway , driving through today , there it was. Looked fairly right from a distance ; but upon closer inspection. ... Looks to have had some newer bits cobbled on. Liked...

Yea. thats the exact one.

If I cock it up , I will. Like I said , theres another saddle I can use. Its a black San Marco Rolls. Wouldnt look out of place if needs must. The leather mottled hide effect is the same.

Hmm. Sounds like an ace project. I have done up / renovated /restored loads of bikes over the years. I'm on with my Courier now. I understand the desire for originality , but , it shouldnt be all consuming. It can literally mean you arent using your bike until that elusive part turns up ...

Thanks guys. I'll try the furniture shop I think , seeing as there's one just about a mile away. The main concern is that once I apply 'something' , I'm kinda stuck with that. Sylus , Yea ; I considered PCing it , but , two main things , Its absolutely gotta be a pearl or metallic. Not sure...

I'd ride that shit . if it was a steel frame , I'd just buzz em with the arc - set .

I'm restoring my courier . here .... http://stealbikes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/0 ... ndman.html That's todays bit . The whole of the bike doesn't look toooo bad and I don't envisage any major probs . yea , whatever . The main problem though is the seat . Its the standard issue muddyfox one...

Great Paul . Enjoyed that. Theres a pic in there of Harry Leary racing DS. I have one of his old bikes. I wish I'd known his inside leg measurement before I got it . hmmm Anyway . Those overdrive models . I'd forgot about them . Quite a thing really . First 29ers ?

The potdata page contains blah blah blah may be repeated bla blah . Bastard.

I was looking for screw on freewheels just last night. Have a search on Ebay for " DNP EPOCH ". They have some interesting ones . Down to 11t. Seemed pricey compared to , say , a 10quid basic Shimano , but hey.....

here . Another pic from today's shenanigans..... Here . Have a look at the blog . I'm hoping to get the whole restoration done in about 2 weeks . We'll see . I intend to do pretty much everything apart from the wheelbuild . I'm stuck a little with the saddle . What to do , that is . It's...

Well , I'm good with my hands. I've been struggling to get the freewheel off , which I need to do so I can buff up the rims/hubs before a respoke. Been to two bike shops. No suitable tool . 4 pin Suntour. Ironically , I " have" one , but cant find it. Anyway , the big hammer and old...

[b]Hi guys . I've kinda ressurected my old blog . There's some stuff back in the archive from a few years ago. The birth of my home grown ghetto fixie and possibly some pix of my BMX. Anyway , I've took the plunge and started the ,hopefully light (£), restoration on my Courier which I'll...

Yea . I saw that. Slaaaaack angles. Bet it rides real nice. Could be a handbuilt one off ? Debateable what its ' worth '. Like anything , what someone will pay I guess.
