I think i am done. The last piece was the saddle. I think is more fitting.

A couple of changes that may occur are black cables. And possibly a different stem. However, I am pretty happy with this little pioneer.

That’s really cool.

What tyres are those?

Cheap ones off Amazon.

Baldys

They just fit. 2.1width

I'll add this here, semi confirmed as being a Pioneer that was shop converted to take 700C circa 1989.
That pic was taken in the summer on it's first post overhaul ride. Currently it's on winter workhorse duty wearing mudguards which I had to modify due to the tight tyre clearance.

Your bike as found in a Bristol auction room as part of the disposal of the original owners estate

Sorry to see that the ' Dennis the Menace ' bell has not been retained !

I still have it, karma if anyone wants it.

Well, true to my word. Stem and cables changed. All for the better. Thanks @27motorhead for the loan of the retro cable cutters (and a quick spin on the gods bike).

Now done and ready to get dirty (maybe ).


With fat 2mm brake rope.

Really happy to see this one again. I regret letting it go but we can't keep them all!

Great to see you (and the Overbury's!) after such a long time.

Tis a lovely little gorgeous bike.

Nice crimping too!

Next time will try and get out in the woods on some old MTB's, will make sure I have some in a rideable state if you want to keep the Overbury's clean!!!
