I took her out for a short ride last Saturday, she rode like a dream apart from the frazzled brake blocks performance. That was to be expected though. The nose of the saddle needs to be dropped a tad, otherwise I was happy with the riding position. I got home in one piece which bodes well for future rides.
Iāve got some Weinmann type blocks stashed somewhere, so once they have been dug out I will get them fitted and sort the saddle out. Iāll try to get a few more miles in this weekend too.
I made time and stripped, cleaned, lightly greased and rebuilt the Arabesque shifters, ready for fitting later on. The front and rear mechās will get the same treatment nearer the time.
