A mate is flogging his Muddy Fox Courier http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250805432946&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_500wt_1156 You'll struggle to find a better one I'd imagine Will :)

I can't decide if thats a beautiful bike or the ruins of a collapsed factory, theres certainly lots of metalwork going in all directions! I'll go with beautiful bike though as its a Bianchi and I won't have a bad word said about anything painted Celeste ;) Will :)

Thanks Keith It does jump to the next gear down, I've adjusted the stops so the chain just jumps spoke side then eased it back a tickle to stop it going spoke side. I've no idea if the freewheel and chain are original but I suspect they both are, theres virtually no wear on the wheel rims...

Cheers, are all freewheels the same thread, no difference between Shimano and Campag etc? Will :)

I've got a slight issue with my old 1980s Bianchi. Its a bit hilly round here to say the least and when I get out of the saddle the darned thing jumps down a gear making life a good deal harder than it needs to be. Suspecting its a worn chain I had a quick measure using the 12 links theory...

Re: Now for sale Stark staring bonkers! Get a grip on yourself. Thats a lovely looking bike, I'd certainly give it houseroom, pride of place over the mantlepiece even. Will :)

I'm still struggling to find out much about my Bianchi :? Have a look here: http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=34346 there are loads of nice bikes to drool over and you may see one like yours... Will :)

Speechless. :shock: I'd missed the thread in the other forum, God knows how you kept a straight face collecting that beauty. I was pleased with my mediocre Bianchi for £150, not so now :( Will :)

Both worth a try, especially the 99p one 8) Can't wait to get into town now... Cheers Will :)

I spent a pleasant hour or so yesterday morning cleaning the Bianchi and managed to improve things a lot using Brasso (found it under the sink, I'll no doubt be in trouble when the mrs finds its all gone). Its fairly obvoius from my efforts that to get it back to immaculate state I am going...

Always worth saving an old bike mate. I rode a Halfords Vitesse bike to Lands End when I was 13, 30 years ago this year so am doing it again on the Bianchi this summer to re-enact the event 8) A Vitesse came up on ebay a few weeks ago and I was very tempted. Will :)

Thanks 8) I'm well chuffed with it, I paid £150 for it on ebay which was a tad brave because I hadn't seen it. I've been longing for a celeste Bianchi for years and it was only 10miles off my weekly driving route so easy to collect so I took a punt on it. I was amazed to find the tyres...

First proper outing on the new old Bianchi yesterday. Slightly disgraced itself by having a puncture 5miles from home and eldest sons saddle pack had some Top Gear cards and a toy Ferrari in instead of tools and a puncture kid, guess thats my fault for not checking :roll: Its a Rekord 841...

its spooky alright. I like that a lot. Will :)

LOVE that supersport 8) Cracking little cars. I always wanted a Supersport over an XR2. Will :)

Been there, nearly bankrupted me in repair costs! Probably the nicest car I've ever owned though. SWMBO didn't like it so we sold it for a derv Disco :cry: Will :)

Indeed Rob :lol: 8) Will :)

Land Rover 110 of 1989 vintage, almost standard appart from the different suspension, steering, tweeked engine, rollcage, quaife diff... :lol: All old pictures, its got a few more lights and a repaint since these. Currently in bits having the gearboxes rebuilt. We've got a Mini Cooper...

A friend of mine jane has them made for her, google 'exmoor lurcher' and you'll find her. Will :)

Exmoor Centre? Its a remote bunkhouse owned by a charitable trust so its cheap cheap, we manage it for them. Theres a website link below and if you email the Stay@ email address on the site and say Will sent you they'll do you a decent rate. Its ridiculously cheap anyway ;) Its about...
