Quite fancy a Surly Pacer myself, used to be a tourist but haven't got the legs for long distance anymore. Fast day trips under 40 miles are more my road bag these days. Did have an original 70's Galaxy for a few years, fantastic bike that I'm still kicking myself for selling on :roll:

I'm not ancient by the way, the Galaxy was very second hand when I got it and low grade ME has taken my distance legs not advancing years. Just turned 40 and clutching on to my youth

Good to see a roady undercurrent in your retro riding, Retrobike can be a wee bit too mtb focussed.

One other thing RobMac, you ride with us at Dunkeld and you get your Tartan banner over your avatar

Welcome RobMac , that sounds like a nice collection, what will you be bringing to Dunkeld ?

Not done a lot of riding myself lately, conditions are pretty much the same here in the west, still lots of snow and ice :roll: , itching to try out the new Zaskar too.

Let me know how your woods are Velo, if they're rideable I'll trundle through at the weekend.

I'd like to go on the Stumpjumper but given the company it'll be the Kona.

Cheers JH

Bring what you like, dont feel pressured to be on a retro steed, just that if you are not you will need to ride 1/2 mile or so behind the rest of us

What year's the Explosif? or even better show us some pics

Not much riding going on here either but I will endeavour to force myself out for New Year's Day cycle tommorrow pm - its become a bit of a habit over the last few years :roll:

Oh and I'm still failing to devote enough time to building up the P7 :cry:

Good tidings RobMac A fine collection of steeds you have there and new stuff is more than welcome( I have converted back )

Hi Mr Panda
I dont have any pics of my own bikes, but I do have pics of the models I have. Actually I was hoping through this site I could date my bikes, even though Ive had them from new
My Kona is made of Tange with the fluted down tube I got rid of the front suspension and now its got Project 2's. I love the Kona the stuff Ive done with it would amaze you, ooooeerr Mrs.

Nice to meet you to Kaiser thanks for your comment.
