I can't find a 'beginners' thread...

Thanks all for help. Feel confident about what I need to do.

Matt - yes, I thought I knew, but just wanted confirmation before I went out and spent any money

Scilly - don't worry, I didn't think that, I probably should have used a smiley to show I wasn't being funny

A freewheel seems a much better idea.

gf ordered me Brooks saddle and matching bar tape for my birthday last night, can't wait to start building!

GIT!

I keep looking for another one (it was the Forest Green with orange forks) but haven't seen another one yet, and the guy I sold it to doesn't want to sell it back to me

Well maybe if I get a road addiction, the gf will force me to make some space and I will sell it to you

Here it is after I rescued it from about 10 years of loneliness in my mum's garage (nasty bars/brakes have been changed since amongst other things)

I can't find the original forks, I think she must have binned them

If she really loves you she'll slip a tin of Proofide in with the saddle.
