There’s not a suitable group near me that I’m aware of. There’s a group full of rich, healthy sorts on mega money moderns, I know a couple of them. It’s not for me just now though. In fact I did this post mid life crisis twenty yrs ago I joined a classic mini club locally, it was scary then...

What's the pit to pit measurement please, If there's any chance I can wear this, I would be happy to purchase it. Many thanks Ben

Lots of great south west riding in my neck of the woods, nr Devizes, Wiltshire.

Really appreciate this thread caught a few responses, and a lot of positivity enjoyed my end. I needed it, I have managed to get out a couple times this week, this morning in the sun, mostly gentle canal, but it’s a start. Despite carrying a spare ( Chinese non folding steel bead variety ) tyre...

Mine arrived big sticker on my roll cab, loving it, and new shirt had a roll out for a Sunday sunny pootle earlier. Great stuff Thankyou, if second shirts per customer or future prints are a thing I will be happy to buy more. Not sure why I haven’t before really. Many thanks Ben

I have considered a modern, but I don't like the ride on newer bikes I've tried, they are big, bloody expensive and it seems to me bloody expensive to maintain. I have a local group if I was fit enough but they are all on bikes costing loads, lots fitter than me, it is a weekly no matter the...

I have full sets of marples all pattern chisels, a full set of old record planes... I keep them in cabinets, I use them regularly but not so often as when I didn't have three routers to choose from! Thing is you can't find them, I won't ever let go of them i don't think as replacing them would...

Only one who is really ill, and another who is way fitter than me, and even less timerich. He is onboard, as we have a car mproject together and the ride to where its at, is a pleasant if hilly ride, mostly offroad so we have already discussed regualr seasonally appropriate riding out to work on...

Ive many hobbies or interests but many are taken care of by holidays in the uk, walking etc.. woodworking by the house or present making, etc so they tick along more comfortably focused within life. I still see other bikes etc but if they were all being ridden I kinda have a bike for most things...

I did this in covid and to some degree since, but as a petrolhead with several vehicles, time will come when i will have to split between any excuse to drive, and actually riding..! not one to make life easier on myself am I ? Two of the vehicles are land rovers so I can see little change in...

Literally that, just an expression of my internal lament that I spend more time on here or restoring bikes for myself and sometimes others than I do riding...! Life has many other distractions, an old house, the demands of my other half , mostly related to said house.. several cars, also in...

I like two of those designs, the crank and thumbie designs are ace. Not thought of buying the shirts before weirdly.. and would happily pay upfront for an xl of each, will keep an eye open for a thread?

I wish I discovered these back in the day, shimano pre v brakes crap was all I had, these can be set up so much better...!

Lovely looking bike, screams nineties with purple paint instead of all purple anodised bits! I would love one or even earlier e stay Saracen. I've low mileage stx on a marin, it's slightly heavier but hard wearing and good looking. I've got lx and xt and xtr bikes, and actually it's all very...

Good luck with sale, I am looking for a gt cap in nice nick for my mates zaskar, but I keep buying job lots and I have to stop! If you don't succeed maybe you would send me the gt ones for a few quid?

Bugger perfect bars missed if Shepp changes his mind.. shout. I like xlite too, and I've got there cross country bars but my back is 44 now and requires more assistance in reaching the bars. The hunt continues.

I dont know any details , I just know this looks fab, nothing this nice comes up on marketplace in my neck of the woods! Looks like a great usable workhorse.

Oh dear now I watch more you tube.. most of the names I recall from MBUK.

Off topic .. but am I looking at early steel amp forks, running v brakes? In the top pic on the univega... I have a Kona with amp forks I'm building and the curve cantis are a nightmare. I figured v brakes and flex of those light forks might be a recipe for disaster.. I've some nice og lx arms...
