Good stuff, I've seen Tom's bike (which also has NOS Deore levers for the spotters) and it was a beastie.

Exactly ^^ and more fun had with no need to career through woods at 60mph. Real throwback 40yrs. Liked that rider's homage to Gary Fisher's look from the early Repack races. This is what retro bike days out should be like at least once a year.

Seem to recall a ride posted on here a year or so ago. Three old bikes, two of them Saracens, somewhere in Scotland iirc
