Show us your steel.....its real...

[Toshiba Boy]

My 1997 Peugeot, hardly used for last 15 years or so, lent out to a relative and then a friend. Had it stripped down, powder coated and new set of wheels, and now makes a great summer commuting bike.

Here's my favourite pic of my custom-built Reynolds 953:-

1979 Pro

OK unstable cliff, fair enough, but I would have thought soft fall breaking mud, at the base of a very fall-off-able cliff, was a good thing.

Its almost like you don't need to worry, its safety mud

A couple of new (to me) steel bike projects, Brian Rourke road bike (early eighties)




And one from a hundred and thirty years earlier, A Penny Farthing junior (requires a fair bit of restoration)

I’ve just bought this 1990 (?) Raleigh Pioneer 6 for the princely sum of £16.99. Not sure whether to sell it on or to keep it for those occasions when I have to leave a bike locked up in public for a few hours.

It looks to have had very little use and a quick ride up and down the road suggests everything’s working. Just needs a clean and a minor fettle.

You've clearly never drowned in mud.

1989 George Longstaff Trike

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Being the occasional dunderhead that I am, and TBF viewing it on a tablet, i must confess to expanding the image to better see the unusual cross-brace in the main triangle, only to realise it was the bleedin' railings

Bought this on Monday

So far, so good

Change of saddle after Colly sold me a brookes, new rubber soonish but apart from that, it's what I've been looking for

 

[uphillstruggler]

Now with the saddle I bought from @colly

This bike was a bargain, and is pretty comfortable. Dawes horizon with Reynolds 520 tubing.- needs new bar tape and possibly spd/flat pedals and it's ready for a new life with me

Very pleased with my purchases last week

Owned two Longstaff trikes over the years. Some of the most fun you can have cycling, until you end up in a ditch that is...

I use to have one of these, perfect for riding around town.
