Thanks mate it's a little overcast today if that makes you feel any betterVery clean indeed and nice weather in the garden again lol
Thanks Bob. Its mainly original. It came with flat bars, it would have had drops so I fitted the Morphe bars and Velo Orange stem. I prefer a leather saddle. Stainless mudguards and I had to change the chainset as it had been run loose and marked the tapers sadly. The 105 brake and gear levers are the right series to match the 105 UG hubs.Adore your Royal Bob, every part you have chosen enhances the style, just perfect. I finished polishing the brakes you sent the other day... Cheers mate.
It's 120mm so five speed. This is very different to our UK Record Ace. 700c, very tight for the age, short wheel base, fork blades. I've owned a UK Record Ace and while it was nice it was like driving a bus in comparison.Nice bike Bob, you know about my fondness for the Record Ace. Nice to hear that you find it fast too! Did you go 10 or 12 speed?
