Damn that's nice! Coincidently just back from Rourke's today .... nice bunch.Saw this on eBay, went to look at it, made an offer, accepted. Not in the best condition, I built a new front wheel, new bearings in rear, tightened bottom bracket, replaced chainring, rear sprocket and chain and touched up paint work. Still a few minor bits to replace. Test ridden today.
It is extremely beautiful, working on it has been a pleasure, riding it even better. I have never been to their shop but will do so now as we pass near to there on the way to Cheshire and the outlaws.Damn that's nice! Coincidently just back from Rourke's today .... nice bunch.
It's worth it, they have a lot of nice but different stuff on any given day. Lot of memorabilia on the walls of the bar. They are just building a training bike for Jason Kenny and a refurb on Laura Trotts track bike at the mo.It is extremely beautiful, working on it has been a pleasure, riding it even better.

Really nice looking bike.View attachment 54475 Just collected this last Friday - bought the frame & components seperately and had my lbs build it for me. I make no apologies for the mix of old-style frame (bought brand new) with new-style components - I still think it looks stunning & it goes as well as it looks. I sold a full carbon Cube Agree GTC Race to part-fund this latest bike, and can now see why steel bikes have their fans!
More old iron,any old iron any old iron any any any old iron ?
Heres my Frank Herety bike, I found this frame put out with the bins for collection!!!! Ok so it had had a chisel through the seat tube (frozen seatpost)...and a broken dropout so it cost me a few bob to get it nice again but this one was definitely worth saving eh?
Has SR stem, bars and seatpost, mavic MA2 rims and all the rest is Shimano 105 which is damn good quality stuff for the money IMO
That's gorgeous!Not to be outdone by my better half, and as I've just posted this in the 'pink' thread, I thought I should post it here too...
As seen on many CycleChat rides over the years...
Eugh, no! Too gaudy Mine is far more subtle (it does have pink on it and pink saddle rails...)@dr_pink http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/SAPXSL/planet-x-superlight-team-saddle
Has to be done, surely?
More old iron,
just bought another with an idea it'll take up some commuting duties,. it's a bit rough round the edges but has some nice features
