Re: Looks like a fantastic day out. Probably just as well I couldn't accompany jackosbournesnr down from Scotland as my only built and working retro road bike , a shonky gas pipe Raleigh , would have lowered the standard of bike on show. Very impressive turnout.

Yes , a bit dated now . Due for a change unfortunately we didn't win the challange cup!

Re: Looks like a good day out and I did consider it however I've been roped in to going to daughters uni open day. Hope the weather holds out and I'll keep an eye out for any future Lakes rides

Re: Looks like the sensor needs cleaned rather than the lens. I get simlar with both Canon dSLR bodies . Very annoying . Doesn't tend to happen with compact or bridge as you're not changing lenses.

Where was this taken BigFoz ? The Braes or Eaglesham moor ? We should try and get a wee social ride one evening when the days get longer. There's you , me , 47p2 and Jackosbournejnr who all seem to ride in roughly the same area.

Re: I head that way occassionaly and forum member 47p2 rides these roads fairly regularily being from the south side of Glasgow.

Re: Where was the photo taken Jackosbounesnr ? Fenwick moor south of Eaglesham or somewhere in that neck of the woods ?

Re: Thanks everyone. I've many many more that I don't know the locations so I may post them up for your perusal. Nothing to do with bikes but they maybe of interest to some

I've recently taken possession of my late Uncle Georges photographic slides and I'm in the process of scanning them. They date from 1959 - 1979 . He was from Paisley but lived for 30 years in Barrow in Furness. He was a keen photographer and took mainly landscapes , railway engines , ships and...

Re: https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/gent ... 1223340150 From what I can gather Coors sponsored the Saracen mountainbike team around 1994. This appears to in homage to that. Cheap and unusual

Re: Re: I had to google Loch Doon . Yes I'd be interested as long as I'm not working and can get a pass from the fun polis

Re: Addendum to my previous post. The Retrobike Facebook I referred to is a group for individuals to join and post on however there is also a Retrobike Facebook page which has 11,331 followers and is still active.

Re: There is a Retrobike Facebook page set up by John way back in October 2007 . It was used sparingly and the last post was 2011 so obviously not much interest in that. There is , according to the home page , an Instagram group however I don't have that so I don't know if it's ever used...

I was intrigued by your post and started looking at the mapping system in work and googling. I found this article. You may have already seen it. http://www.johnogroat-journal.co.uk/Fea ... 112012.htm

Sorry Jamie , I forgot about that. I thought Perthshire , being the centre of the country , would be more easily accessable for most. There seems to be some interest so I'll have a look at my shift roster and the missus list of forthcoming events and put up some dates in one o' those poll...

Its a good few years since Macretro had a road run. We had a couple of trips to Arran , MrPs Killen ride and Velos excellent 3 Abbeys ride however nothing since. I know quite a few of us have road bikes of various forms but not neccessarily retro. I realise folks diaries are pretty full but...

Re: I was looking forwards to a day out on the 5th :( Oh well Working on the 12th
