And today I did......

Re:

Had another wee run around Blairadam this afternoon. It's Crisp'n'Dry, well apart fae the usual muddy shitey bits.
The bit of woods next to the first turn right down from the bottom car-park is getting the fallen trees cleared from it, don't know what else they're up to though.


Oh, and I bought another bike on Sunday, a Cannondale F800 in Team Blue, a 16" (small). In the right size frame this time unlike the F700 frame in Team Blue I bought that although it was a 17" was too big. :shock:
Have stripped it and will build it up with the Lefty, Middleburns etc I had started to fit to F700. Al the Coda stuff on the F800 is going on the F700 and then I might sell it or my wife might want it. Don't think my wife will want a hardtail MTB again since I built her a full suspension bike, as she actually wants me to rebuild a Claud Butler road bike for her so the selling option would seem the most likely outcome. Get some of the dosh back, just some. :facepalm:
 
Re:

Well actually it's only the 2nd ever complete bike I've bought since I bought my first MTB from Edinburgh Bike Co-op in 1990.
All the bikes I've built for Lorna and the girls have been from bits bought off here, ebay, Gumtree etc.

Apart from the GT I bought for the bairn of here, eh and the girly bike bought fae Halfrauds and.....

Feck, it is ANOTHER bike.

Re:

Flying Scot was a marque used by Scottish bicycle manufacturer, David Rattray and Co. in Glasgow. Rattray were probably the largest maker of lightweight bicycles in Scotland and were in business between 1901 and 1982.
