And today I did......

Just done a google on MB3's, they are the ultimate retrobike, Bridgestone left the spec virtually unchanged fromm 88 to 93. The 1992 catalogue patiently explains that thumbshifters and non indexed shifting is way better than this rapidfire nonsense

The model I appear to have is this one from 88:

The last few parts have been ordered and Project Pineapple is drawing to a conclusion...

Jeez I've got a serious bike addiction, happened on this wreck with seconds to spare and nabbed it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120840507...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1596wt_1034
God I need help

That's a sweet buy IMHO. They made some nice bikes in the short time they were at it.

Got a pair of hubs from ebay

THESE will be the basis of a weenie set of road hoops. They will be laced to a set of THESE when I get round to buying them. Should make a 1000g(ish) set of wheels

Nice - there's something quite lovely about that front hub in particular.

I've spent the last couple of weeks chasing overpriced left hand side brifters on ebay (already got a minty Tiagra for the right hand side courtesy of mikee). Goes to Merlin Cycles tonight, checks road clearance section... 105 STI, left hand side. £34! Result.

Had to listen to shite from an MSP&MP looking for scapegoats for a badly run council project.

Had a good session at my Origami class tonight, how to tear some body's achilles tendon followed by break their knee. If that didnt float yer boat how about pressure points on the neck and head, most enjoyable :shock:

Got a puncture on the roadie Cinder Cone on the way home from work, fortunately about 50metres from ma hoose

Startin to fix it now......
