Rode my Dad's 1960's Elswick pub bike back from his house. It's painted with Hammerite and looks really shonky with rattly mudguards and rusty steel rims.
Burned past a guy on some spanky new Specialized hardtail
a quick 4 mile loop on a 93 SS marin - took longer than it does on a 27spd, especially because i'm still slightly lacking fitness and there were a few brake adjustment related niggles to sort out along the way.
So far this year i did 2000 km on my 1998 symbiosis, in the mountain. It's a marvelous columbus max or frame, using a mix of retro and no so retro parts...
