I thought it was well past due that I add my Cats Wiskas to this thread...

Very nice! I was wondering where that one had got to.

That is stunning

Where have you been hiding that?

I'm not Jealous at all :x

Cheers guys I bought it from wadsy 3 years ago. Before that it belonged to messiah.
My bikes even hide from me I have an agreement with my girlfriend that I only keep 2 bikes in our home. Fortunately, my parents allow me to keep all my other bikes in my old bedroom at their house. I try to rotate them round but it does mean that I go months without riding some of them.

Hopefully this will arrive today.
New paint and a thread to go with it though it may turn into a longer project given its reputation. done right it will sing

I don't think I've put this up before and it's really just for posterity as it died a long, long time ago. It's a scan of a bad photo of a terrible incarnation of a lovely frame (it had been retired from mtb duties at this point and was my commuter). Taken around 1990 I guess.

That's well nice, but a tad large for us shorties, or is it just an illusion?

Cheers,

Not as big as it looks but yes, it was a bit too big for me

 

[NeilM]

As this thread started with two bike projects, I thought, having taken it for its first shakedown ride last night, I should post a picture of one of them.

1992 Dave Lloyd CATS WISKAS

While I'm at it, I better post this picture too, although it's more Anglo American Steel... in every respect.

1994 Fuquay

Very very nice Neil, great additions to the thread.

Hopefully I'll be able to add one or two soon

The Dave Lloyd looks stunning Neil, how does it ride.

I keep on coming back to this thread every now and again just for a look and it ends up with me quickly checking the bay,gumtree etc etc
