My bikes.

I'm tripping over bicycles and part's.

You can't trip over bicycles and parts if you don't get off your bike in the first place

I will not be using the original pedals because they run like shit. That is the technical term. The hours I've spent don't bear thinking about
The entire cage and tube assembly is alive and moving, that and tight spots I can't eliminate. I've since rebuilt another set of Lyotards with nice chrome clips and black leather straps.

Rebuilt pedals, dynamo wired. Does it work? I forgot to try it with the wheel in
"New" Leotard pedals as the others were scrap. Chain is soaking in degreaser. Front wheel is still a bio hazard but is in much better condition than the rear.

Crikey. Rags to riches from the @Guinessisgoodforyou workshop again. I bet this is just going to purrrrrrrrrrrrrr along.

Thanks Woz. I wondered what you were going on about purring, then Jo gave me the "I married downwards" look and said purr-geot FFS. Don't call me lightning for nothing...
Oh I lied about the front wheel being in much better condition than the rear. It's shit just like the rear

Well, it's always good to have a matching wheel set

Done a grand job there Bob and @Mrs GIGFY has done a grand job letting you tinker with ALL these BIKES!!!

However, I do have an issue with phone cameras as they do tend to flatter how things look (must be some form of filter to make us humans look better! ) as I take photos of my bikes and the crappy bits never look so crappy, it can be frustrating. Appreciate that this Pug is no minter, but it's been a great restoration and failed chrome can only look so good.

Hope the dynamo works, it can be used as a third brake (drag brake like on a tandem) on steep descents!

No filter on the camera. The pictures are a very fair representation of condition. Come and see for yourself I'll get the kettle on

One day I hope to pop down to Sunny Sussex to see you and bikes in the flesh/metal
