I love BSA bicycles of the era 50/60s and some 70s they used such amazing colours and decals. Bought this one for £30 for my wife, gave it a good clean, new tyres, old brooks vinyl saddle, she says it's very comfortable. The colour is a kind of red orange tequila sunset.

It's been a while since I've been on, moved house etc. Anyway, I need a local shopper bike. So I bought a Raleigh Bomber a few minutes ago. The plan is to get it looking like a klunker, rat rod, BMX cruiser, I'd like to get it near to the phillips Speed Track (photo at bottom) as they have...

TBH these suspension posts work really well, the bounce just seems a bit more controlled than springs.
