That’s a game of skill. 😎 (I thought the brakes would be the thing - good V’s getting obsolete, etc).

I quite like buying old cars on a wing and a prayer: I once asked a dealer if there was anything he wouldn’t touch - he said only if it’s from ….. oh wait, that’s the place in America? 😁

I’m (genuinely) curious why the cranks are the thing that makes all the trouble of getting and splitting worthwhile - are they super rare & super minty? (PS, pencil me in for the rear mech …)

Carter USM! Fab. More diversions …. I’ll give you Cud in return.

Significant consumer information news comrades. On the back of the recent Copper Grease commiseration thread, I checked with GT85 and they confirmed it no longer contains PTFE forever chemicals, so you can put the bryl cream back in the cupboard. Carry on.

Right, @half cog if GIGFY hasn’t already made a secret deal, I’ll buy it. Effective top tube is very close to 2 of my fave rides. Will message you (am not too far from Harrogate).

This ^^

Damn, where is Goldilocks when you need her? If you have the right legs get this bought. Lush.

Thanks, it’s a bit of a home brewed special: frame is 1980s tourer, fork a mystery - but makes a very capable go anywhere, (coughs) gravel bike. A few more pics here

Thanks - still no luck in tracking it down, but that got me down a fun Ned’s Atomic Dustbin rabbit holette.

Just caught up to this - great work and what a lovely result. The rear mech caught my eye - have you modded cage and jockey wheels?

Yep, apparently if you haven’t got LEDs in your, er crib, you’re not trying hard enough. (I’ve been resisting a “spinny chair’ but wouldn’t mind some sort of stool)

15 yr old son told me I need to “get tidied up”. Can’t argue.

Beautiful. Where are those trees?

Ha - will try that out on another bike - am too devoted to the Suntour hubs on this one (from 1986 and still buttery smooth)

Sachs skewers please. Will message.

Yes. Taller than stone henge and completely accessible. Very … ‘atmospheric’ when you get close.

T’ shops again. Today’s ride livened up by a mid-way encounter with a seriously cool retro machine 😎😎

…. still waiting ……

Must resist … cannot resist … the difference is 0.5 mm, divided by two. Any pictures?
