Work bikes

Re:

My only functioning bike at the moment, so naturally it gets used for commuting.



1990 Muddy Fox Pathfinder, complete with lights from Lidl.

(and I have still not gor around to fitting the correct stem as kindly provided by @mrgumby - damn so called 'other commitments!')

My work hack :)



I love this bike, and it all happened by accident really - given the bike by someone who didn't want it, needed parts so chucked in shed.
My dad needed a bike so used it for two years and I ended back with it after I sold my (completely soul less) Giant XTC.
Only meant to use it until I got a new bike but now I won't part with it - nice 'n' basic, super light and super fast.
Would really like to give this a resto :cool:

Always look after your Cinder's.
 
Re:

Definitely. I did have a scare though - riding to work when suddenly I hear a 'ping!' and my rear wheel starts dragging on the frame :shock:
Thought I had broke the spindle but no, a weld had snapped :cry: Thought that was it but being a steel frame and having a decent welder at work meant that after some cleaning up and two deep vee's, it was soon solid as a rock :D
I'll still carry on with a resto on it though, couldn't bear to bin it!

Just finished building this one up ready to take over commuting duties from my 1988 Marin Bear Valley on Monday.........

Where'd you get the rear mech protector from? I was thinking of one of those for my GT.
Also tyres were from?
Cheers :)


I purchased the tyres for this site in Germany bike-discount.com for about €34 their service was fantastic and have bought several pairs.

The mech protector was purchased on ebay for about £5.00. I have put these on a couple of bikes and have saved my ride on many occasions.

Re:

Thanks ;).
Those rear mech protectors are probably frowned upon on here but I'd use one to save damaging an old mech.
I'll check those out.
