Ooooh, what's that on the back of my car???

[MiniNinjaRob]

you must be more svelte than me, cos I know for a fact that would snap under my weight..

looks nice. Last one I saw, recently, was pale blue..

That's some big gears going on there, too... :shock:

Road chainset - used only on the road.

I can't ride it, it's got a 12.5st weight limit.

It is an Allsop.

It does flex really easily. :shock:

Anyway in a more serious vein, can you move the saddle backwards and forwards along the, erm, seat tube?

It looks like you can. And could you use a quick release on it to adjust your poition during rides?

1. Yes.


2. Err not the same as a normal bike. You can adjust the front bit so the beam is at a different angle. This effectively changes the seat height.

Is that the one thats just finished on Ebay?

What are your plans for it?

 

[MiniNinjaRob]

1. No

2. Restore it for the owner, who has had it from new and it has been his favourite bike for many years. He recently did the C2C in a day on it. It was resprayed at Triple S 10 years ago and the finish is still mint. He still has the Allsop stem in near mint condition but it isnt used as it's "terrible"!

I need to find a nice highish rise replacement stem to fit it. I was given a box of XTR to fit to it. ;-)

Really nice to see a bike bought new and still used regularly - not just for commuting either.

I consider it a real privilege to service it and give it another 20 years of use.

There is another bike in the boot too....... ;-) :shock:

Didn't Otis Guy invent this design? Always fancied a go on one but it would be horrendous if that seat/top tube parted ways with the rest of the frame :shock:

Other bike has these forks.

With this front brake.

The elastomers are rock hard. I mentioned that they can be very costly, whereupon he dug out a bag - "I have a few spares"

:shock:

Rear mech - tasty!!
