MacRetro chat and rides thread

[The Ken]

It is bare and clean but I have never got round to having it welded.
Lazyness really and all my moola has gone on the modern road kit for the Gazelle.

The Gazelle is nearly finished - pedals, cables and 1 shifter/brake unit is all that is needs but I will be riding it with one shifter brake until I can afford another .... or find a cheap left hand double suitable for 10 speed.

I ordered pedals but they sent the wrong ones and won't have any in stock until November! I'm waiting on a refund so I can find them elsewhere.

Work has and will continue to be mental for the next month. I'll only get my Thursday night run on the bike - no long trips until after the deadline on the 9th of November so it looks like I might need to miss Thrunton

27th is a possible for me but I can't commit.

"can't commit" .... that's what your ex girlfriend said, that and you were crap in the sack.

:? Into the LBS today to pick it up and it wasn't finished. He said most of the hydraulic fitting were fooked and he'd replaced them. He was going to bleed them and assured me it'd be right for tomorrow. At best I'll get an hour tomorrow evening. Hadn't noticed that the pads were a bit ropey too :roll:
