Just dragged this one out of the depths of the garage because its an Ian May it comes out in May to play , cant believe i have had this since October 2013

Its had a few wheelset's over the years but other than that its still the same great bike and i am looking forward to getting some mile on it in 2017

Thought i would do some test commuting miles on this one as have planed to get s 40+ on it over the weekend , had to swap front wheel for afternoon commutes as a spoke went ping at some point

Holy thread resurrection batman.

I'm kicking myself for not grabbing a photo, but I saw an Ian May liveried shopper bike yesterday near Victoria station, most odd.

There have been a few oddities come up over the years with Ian May decals on , never been able to find out more .

I can only presume they resprayed and then logo'd in the shop for what ever reason.

First outing for the Ian May in 2018 on this morning's commute just to make sure all is ok for some weekend miles

A nice 50+ mile ride this morning on this one

I have been waiting to swap the Zeus 2000 forks for a pair of Koga Miyata 6000 alloy one's for about 18 months.

I think they look good and I have also taken the opportunity to fit some newer style calipers as well.

First ride felt good so will see .

Been clocking up the miles on this since fitting the alloy fork and modolo calipers and I am well pleased with the results except for the amount of grinding noise the front brake makes on first application so just swapped them for some Shimano Tiagra units with Clarke's pads and on first test all is good .
