So by way of an update..... So far the bike owes me......well nothing really. I still haven't replaced the rear tyre. The only used parts I have added were the front brake cable and an inner tube (both of which I had knocking around so were in effect free). In fact I owe the bike quite a bit as...

Phew they haven't all gone. I have ordered 4!

Don't all buy them before I can get home and order some lol

Wow, all my local charity shops have are old DVDs and tacky china ornaments lol

I see that rudimentary 27" tyres can be bought relatively cheaply in pairs off of the good old www. Have any of you guys used them, what where they like? I am not looking for outright performance, just wanting to get a project rolling and wondering what to use. Any other recommendations? Cheers

Picked it up tonight, he was a genuinely lovely chap. Will have a proper look at it in daylight tomorrow and start a separate thread for it.

Yes, time to invest in Pioneers.....it's the new crypto currency lol

I have picked one up recently to make into my station/shopping/pub bike!
