Retrobike Rider
Hello Im Phil mid fifties I have been viewing this forum for a while and decided to join I have 4 road bikes
1986 built Hirame o22 tubing (yellow frame) from whiskers which I speced with ma40 wheels and a mix of shimano 600 arabesque (brakes) and ex (pre sis) this is due a rebuild as the frame has some surface rust and minor pitting then last year got run over by a 4x4 while behind my car, I have managed to get all the parts second hand to start the rebuild over winter.
1980s early 90s Dawes jaguar 531 tubing which I saw in a LBS around 1995 for £50.00 it looked like it had only been ridden for about 20 miles so I bought it as a pub bike.
New stuff
Dirty joe alloy frame with carbon forks 105/tiagra bits.
2008-9 Mbk RD200 which I managed to buy with the insurance for the hirame £300.00 when the LBS had a closing down sale. Campag mirage, FSA and tectro bits, at that price I could not resist.
2 MTB's
1989 Townsend Trail 531 with exage 300 trail components and biopace (yuck) needs paint and rebuild.
1999 Giant Alu boulder shock shimano alvio bits.
I will post pictures when allowed
Cheers Phil
