Hi all, just thought I'd introduce myself.
I collect all sorts of bicycles and have done for over 20 years now. The collection ranges from an 1887 54" Singer Matchless Ordinary (or penny farthing) to a 2 year old Sanderson Solo frame built up with Fox Float R forks, Hope 4 pot brakes & Rohloff hub gear, with all sorts of recumbents, lightweights, roadsters & trikes in between.
The bikes that will be of interest to this forum are:-
Raleigh Summit - all original including R1 forks
TRB - treadle drive machine - I'll post a picture as it's easier than describing it
GT LTS - Girvin vector forks, currently a mixture of other components but about to switch to a Sachs 3x7 groupset
Muddy Fox Rock & Roll - early elastomer front and rear suspension and the current project
Overbury's Cross Fell - Just found the last bits I was after and will be reassembling it soon
Super BH Campagnolo Rally - recently purchased as a frame & forks and gradually buying Euclid bits for it as and when funds allow.
Whyte PRST1 - was the main off road steed until replaced by the Sanderson - most of the parts on the Sanderson were once on this frame. One of the first 50 built which will eventually be rebuilt to factory spec.
Kirk Precision - not the Revolution, but the model with the standard pattern rear triangle (more of a hybrid than a true MTB really, but still a nice, if slightly fragile, machine)
As I dig out each machine I'll post pictures on the relevant parts of the forum, so keep an eye out - I'm still learning a lot about MTB's so comments (good or bad) are welcome!
All the best, Mike
