Well my winter project is now incoming and it's a 1967 Triumph;
@Peachy!


"What's tha t'do with them like?" you may well say, well I'll tell thee...

Sometime next year were planning on a Reyt-Pack at Dalby forest, you can probably guess the plan, anyone in striking distance of Dalby that owns a pre-1989 steel rigid bike is welcome to an (as yet) un-official, un-sanctioned timed run down the gravel paths and fire trails (with possibly some blue route thrown in)

I'm thinking April/May so you've got some time to sort yourselves out....

Oh yes….

Musing about caveats…

In:
Rod, drum, hub, calliper (centre & side), cantilever, U, roller.
Out:
V, disc, hydraulic rim.

No suspension
No SPD, definitely flat pedal only
Hub indexed gears only

@The History Man will be entering the pre-war class… you think I’m joking?

This is a great idea, although a bit of a trek for me!

Might look around for a project of my own

There is plenty of camping at Dalby, why not make a weekend of it. Our end of God's own county is not a bad place to spend a few days

This sounds like it will be a giggle.
I’m not gonna commit cause I know I’ll probably not make it but I’m on the look out for a suitable machine just incase
