[Augustus]

:roll:

Just come along you lot. good to see eome new faces too. older bike the better.

heh, well I started putting proper tyres on the Breezer at lunch so thats a start and I confirmed it was made in 91 from the serial number which ties up with it being a 92 model due to the weird bike years so should be old enough. If I cant sort out any forks for it then I can always resort to a flex stem I have somewhere

What's the address or post code of where we're meeting? I'm going to get the train down and have no idea of where it is.

Apologies in advance, I'm not going to be on anything retro. I promise I'll say my Hail Marys and Our Fathers as pennance before I go.

Mind if I tag along? It'll be my first RetroBikes outing (this is my first post actually). I've a Pace RC200 F6 with most of its original gear - hopefuly retro enough?! I haven't ridden her in a while so not sure if she's up for 20 miles, or me for that matter, but I gave her a once over this arvo (ooh er!) so we'll give it a go. I'm local to the area so anyone coming by train want to mail me off list I'm happy to help with directions - can even meet up at Hove station (its about 45 mins from there to the top of the Dyke - all up hill I'm afraid ).
Cheers, Sketcher

Welcome Sketcher, it'll be nice to see another Pace. Hopefully I'll be able to patch mine up in time as I broke my seat clamp last night! Gutted.

 

[Augustus]

Guys,

good to see new faces coming along. F6 pace will be 2yrs newer than the bike I'll be riding.

Can't give a postcode as last time i did this (possibly in an earlier post) it came up as a middle of a field. :roll:

Bascially it's Hove station and then up to devils dyke. There's a pub at the top and we'll meet there.

Maybe we should make a hove stn meeting point too so as those on the train can all liases and meet at once.

?
