Good lord, how long's that stem?!

Your cat wants to know what the hell you're up to 😂

Ive found the best way to split a freewheel like this is to put it on some really solid wood such as a plank you can stand on and screw a good few screws into the wood, inbetween the teeth on the biggest cog, so it can’t move. You can then tap the lockring or cog round to undo it.

Love seeing clean seatstays due to BB mounted ubrakes. Proper old school.

Great looking bike. If that's an old screw on freewheel you can take the cogs off and space the one you want inline for a good chain line. Cleans up the back nicely :)

This might be controversial. but I'd replace it with a rigid fork. Project 2 perhaps?

Ok Dth 2.1s are on. Still a bit browner than ideal but look good. Only 2.1s but having a bit of a faff getting the front canti blocks to clear the sweep on the tyre sidewalls.

Shape looks ideal for it, especially the straight forks 😁

Looks like possibly an Ascent.

That’d be my vote. Very rare and special now.

I think the slightly less loved oddities like these (no offence intended) can often end up being the most interesting and original survivors. Sort of a "Festival of the unexceptional" but for bikes.

Took over from the Triathlon. Nice looking bikes and the grey aero rims seemed very exotic at the time. Good luck with the build :)

Plastic razor blades and mild heat for stickers. Glue best removed with GooGone for me. Water slides similar then super fine polish if there's a lacquer edge left.

Right, soon as the refund comes back i’m ordering a set of maxxis DTH 2.1s. They look consistently the right wall colour for only a couple of quid more.

Rolls SM for me. They just work.

Fancied this for a GT frame I have, but suspect the cost would be a bit offputting :O

Pic makes them look lighter, theyre actually almost brown. So what the hell are the light yellow ones called then? These were advertised as classic.

Which colour are those ones Hamster? Mine turned up in post, they look like the ones on the first page. Were ordered as classic.

Rode one of these that a friend lent me when I was about 13; remember thinking it was incredible after normal steel rimmed 27" gaspipe stuff. Lovely.

A fellow Townsend owner!! I still say there should be a BOTM category up to a low price one month. Bet there's some really interesting survivors out there.
