Tuesday
Yes for sure I will keep the old tyres to one side though I think as although they are not perfect they are quite good.
I took it out for a spin round the block this afternoon and was gone for two hours it was that good
I do really like the thumbies too on the friction setting it somehow indexes perfectly and even though the drivetrain is 8 speed the 7 spd thumbies work.

Hi guys and gals,
I was wanting to join a Midlands Retro ride at Sherwood Pines one day. I live in Yorkshire but grew up riding Clipstone forest every week. Recently went back to find a visitor centre, tea shop and excellent waymarked trails! Ok not as steep and rocky as here in Yorks but the red route was a good use of what was there and a load of fun.
Anyway I am re-creating my first MTB I rode back in 92 in those forests and would love it's first ride to be back there. I want to get my Retrobike rider badge and what a fitting way to get it.
So anything planned? Takes me a while to get there so an evening ride might be doable but only when days are long.
Hope you are all well.
Rob.
