Work bikes

New year, new beater. Shogun Trail Breaker.

I agree with the comment on the last page: it’s funny how these bike transport rides worm their way into your affections.
Here’s my workhorse basket case.

Thirded. My all-weather commuter, bought for £90 cos it was local and had Phil Wood hubs, realised on the ride home it was the perfect size, spoke to the owner and it turns out it was a (likely Gilles Berthould built) Rando Cycles of Paris that had been repainted in the late 90s, put it together with some hastily bought spares and parts bin stuff. It is now on it's second set of wheels, fourth chain/cassette combo etc and I have decided to take it backwards a bit and replace the Deore 9 speed stuff with 80s Suntour thumbie and rear mech and an 8 speed cassette, replace the LX headset with a Shimano 600EX and generally give it a clean and spruce, I may lose the rear rack too.

Anyway, weirdly the only bike I'll lock up in London, yet one of the ones I'd be saddest about losing!

This is my current winter commuter, An 80 something? Villager . I picked it up cheap and converted to single speed and added the rack and mud guards.
