Go and get it you know that you want it

I’d love to , but we are inundated with bikes. At the mo, I probably may have but as my Surly was retrieved by the cops I don’t have anywhere at all I can put it ,it a proper Call the Midwife model !

What about wall art ?

What about wall art ?

It would be fine by me , but Ms ozboz would not see an old bike hanging on the wall by a rusty nail as anything but an old bike hanging on the wall by an rusty nail ! , it is a pity in away , two lady’s have opened a cyclists cafe in Mortlake , I bet they may have given or found a good home for it , but alas , this bloody virus !!

I love the brakes. An engineer looked at the problem and created that path one linkage at a time.

I noticed as I stood there that the frame is bolted together below the saddle , the brakes are novel , would be a nice bike for a lady to do a Tweed Run on , I can picture Ms ozboz with a first war get up and straw boater riding that , upstairs downstairs job !

Shame. It doesn't look in too bad a condition. A little TLC and a new saddle would bring it up nice.

Chainset looks quite new, not sure abut the age of the bike with those bolted on seat stays?

Forks look pranged?
