First Ever Steel/Other Bike Owned

[Mike Muz]

Mine. Well it's the same as. A Peugeot Optima 531 tubed, RX100 shod bike. It broke. I saw the one below on eBay, identical apart from the wheels , so I had to buy and restore it. Pictured here outside the shop that I bought the original from. Now changed hands.

Pretty sure we invented the continent; along with everything else.

there's a strong argument to support this, as an unintended consequence post act of Union was that the Scottish intelligentsia (whose looked down at political expediency) devoted themselves to the renaissance and enlightenment. During these periods, they did pretty much invent nearly everything (but lost the financial benefits because Whitehall "relieved them of that burden"). Funny old world, how the focus shifts!
