MacRetro chat and rides thread

[Mr Panda]

Kind of quiet round here lately the east coasters planning a new east coast macretro area group splinter?

Been out roadying so too tired to type when i get back in. Good stuff roadying Tarmac, skinny wheels, big frame, tight lycra.......drool :twisted:

Thought we had stopped this Tarmac fetish :twisted:

I was out looking at bathrooms with the mrs, the next DIY task ...after that I was taking pics of the 'butler for kaiser.

here you go kaiser, i'm not certain the frame is 531 anymore - there is no sticker evidence the forks are though.
I have rubbed of some of the patches of surface rust and it is just that.... I did a before and after of a rear drop out.
I'm also not not sure it will do ten speed maybe you can work it out from the bosses - there are too many but I don't know what they are intended for.
I'm good at building a sale up aren't I

I hope you like it - I really like the decals and head badge, be nice to see them restored.

I've only got one to give you

I'll bring it to the next meet - but I'm not at arran - I think my next one is Pentlands and then the Highland meet (if that is still on).

If you want it sooner I'm sure we could arrange a pass the parcel to someone you will see before then.

 

[kaiser]

Nah its cool, will arrange a meet more up your way maybe october or nov? Oh and one wil lbe fine

Tis a bit quiet round here, wonder if people are actually oot biking?

Was gardening and working on the car last weekend, this weekend it's the GF's birthday so wont make Glentress on Sunday :roll:

And of course my job has cut down my internet time.

Definetely making it to Arran though.

Need to do something though, feel the beef piling on since i got back to driving , still seriously thinking about a road bike (sorry Gazz )
