Why did frames used to have those adjusters and horizontal drop-outs? Genuine question. I can't see the point unless you want to run it as a hub gear or singlespeed.

After months of sitting in various states of disrepair, here is my Kona Honky Tonk, free from bottle holder clutter. The only original part is the frameset as I've upgraded to a 105 groupset, Shimano R500 wheels with Gatorskin rubber, Deda bars and stem, unbranded carbon post and Selle Italia saddle.

Not my lightest bike by a long way, but a joy to ride.

No tandem for Anjou Velo so these two will have to do. Built the Hobbs this weekend and the Raleigh last weekend

So that when you replaced the rear wheel it always sat in the right place .... it is very easy to put the wheel in out of alignment in those dropouts, especially in the dark and rain .....

Hello all ,

I have recently joined the forum and thought id share with you my bike collection
it might not be much to some as there all old girls but in my eyes there is nothing better than fixing up a bike with so much history and going for a ride ! The only ones not running is the Trevor Jarvis flying gate , and the Peugeot 103 carbolite

The others are

My fiancé - bsa Metro
Raleigh - currier
Raliegh - pursuit
Henry Burton - ?
Steyr - clubman

Hope there's a few people out there that love then as much as me !!

 

[Greenhouse]

Sorry

Nice collection, Greenhouse!

not collection of greenhouses.......

Thanks mate ,
I have only been collecting them for around 4 months now
I'm 26 going on 60 haha!
I have always been into riding bikes but it wasn't till I went to a barbers in Brighton and he had a Cooper Spa in the window and I fell in love with it so much as I had never seen a bike a lovely as that up close I was instantly hooked on racers and any vintage bike really
Since then I have hunted high and low for any old/unusual / British made racers

My bike dream is to own an original stock 1940 Tour de France bike , as they are just so so beautiful and they have the best bars ever !
