Hi all!

[Timmy]

Just joined to have a look around and chat with you all!

Don't get much bike talk with my mates and I need my fix!

I've got a Claud Butler Criterium (1993) I think! It's a nice 531 frame which has been my main ride for the summer. I've also recently bought a single speed Carlton Competition conversion which some will not like but it's a good quality step into single speed without spending too much money I reckon!

No doubt more to come!

At least the Carlton can be converted back ( i.e. Nobodys sawn/ground off the gear hanger)
