Not yet just waiting for a super freeze or some dryer weather I don’t fancy taking her out in slop

Mild morning so rude not

She’s great fun, needs a few tweaks here and there but great first ride :

 

[clockwork davo]

So during lockdown the lemon got some tweaks, a stem on with more rise and less reach, replaced the SG rings with some biopace ones, replaced the m733 levers with more appropriate mt63 ones and did a little fork upgrade !!! Always evolving :facepalm: :roll: makes it lots more rider friendly

Looks great!

Nice to see some pics of it out and about...

What happened to the other 2?

Great stuff! I’d be tempted to keep this pocket of oranges (that’s the collective for this fruit font ya know ...haha)

Some nice group photos of them if sun comes back out would be good....

Very nice collection of bikes

 

[clockwork davo]

So 2 years on and a 3rd lockdown since I started this thread the collection is still going strong :facepalm:

I’m seem to have embraced the retro collecting more than I expected !!

The current basket of fruit is up to 9 !!! 8 finished and a lockdown 3 project that’s inbound as we speak

I seem to have become a crazed orange collector, I’ve told myself that 10 is the very max but I also said that when I got to 5

I just keep seeing bike that I can’t be without :roll:

Anyway this is the team as it stand obviously in date order

And yes I a thing for Pace RC30’s :facepalm: :facepalm:

Anyway enjoy
