Yeah I only ride to the shops, but of grass or muddy track is as far off road I get. Sounds good, I will check them each ride

Not sure how safe these are, 30 year old Psychos and 20-25 year old Onza Dans…

Anyone know which model the original orange saddle is? I know it’s WTB…

Was she ok?

Updated the build thread

Still waiting for the new forks to go on, but getting some good use in the mean time. Love this bike! The Avid Vee brakes are spot on and the 1x Zee just works so well. Minion Tyres are really really good too

Great colourway

Bumpy

Yes she’s dirty

Just PMd you about this thread, in case you have more than one for sale thread

That’s a shame it was a good thread lots of likes and interest in my £5 bike :(

Thank you, she handles really well and I actually am finding excuses to go out for short rides 👍 One little snag is that I changed the rear cassette and now it jumps/skips. I’m guessing I have to refit the original bedded in cassette?

Just today’s updates, no idea where the original thread went (edit, damn hackers). Edit: original post was covering the fact the bike was found advertised for £5 on someone’s front lawn. Wasn’t expecting True Temper triple butted tubing, Mavic Crosseide wheels and sweet handling 👌 This is now...

Just todays updates, no idea where the original thread went. Fitted some LX/Mavic 221 wheels from Le Grand Fromage, X lite stubby bar ends, my very useful lock and Billy Bonkers tyres: Zapped a bit of handling due to weight I guess as it was on slicks and some nicer wheels. Plus the lock.

I had a thread detailing my Gary Fisher £5 bike purchase and wanted to add an update photo but it’s been removed. The email link for update notification leads to a dead end 😢 Any ideas what happened? Link: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/picked-up-this-little-bargain-for-£5.452386/unread?new=1

Tempted! I have many bikes but so few that work, another working one would be 👌
