Nice family transport DP - is the kids seat a bought jobbie or a home-made rack, I've not seen one like that before?

3BM. I bought the seat on-line, although I've seen them in shops too. Not entirely sure whether or not it meets any safety standards! There aren't any seat belts, so I only use it for short journeys when I'm sure they aren't going to fall asleep.

Thanks DP. Hangs out the back of the bike a bit, I can't imagine my two staying still on that for long - quite fancy giving something like that a go though.

My new mixte: a Carlton Courette.

This is the "before" pic as I got it, yesterday. First changes I've made since the pic have been replacing the saddle with my Brooks B17S, and removing the suicide levers. Next up: new cables, tyres and bartape (because the black doesn't match the saddle any more - oh, and the brake levers are a weird shape, so I want to move them up a bit). Planning to make this my new commuting/everyday bike and use my hybrid to snowbike/trailer-hauling duties.

Not sure yet whether to change to north road style handlebars - first instinct was to do so as I don't particularly like using drops in traffic, but have decided to ride it as-is for a while so I can work out exactly how I want to set it up.

My Holdsworth, built up last year from a NOS unbuilt 1980 frame!

Marcellus, a rebuilt and renovated MBK

And my Soma Smoothie looking dead moody! Real workhorse bike this, done lots and lots of miles!

Peugeot Turbo

Just completed Winter/Renovation project of a 2001 Peugeot Performance. Columbus Aelle frame, 16 Speed Sora STI.

Proper job AlembicBM! The silvery paintwork suggests Peugeot have tried to make the frame look like aluminium, which was at the height of fashion ten years ago.

Ta! The Holdsworth is 531 and rides very very well, A real find. The MBK is a cracking bike very comfy and the Soma a strong hard working bike, and my go to for long days and touring.
