Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

The Ambassador was the one based on, I think, the Morris Oxford. The one that everyone was driving around in under Macmillan while wearing string-backed driving gloves.

I wonder if anyone ever got around to importing any of those Iranian licence built Hillmans, they sounded truly dreadful

Yeah it was based on some British model. I'm not hot on cars but that sounds about right. I think it's still going.

I love the old converted MTBs too. it's a useful new lease of life for them. I can't bear to part with my old Kona's so they're all hidden away with different family members!
I love your GT Barn, my shopper used to look a little similar.

Here's mine, yours looks better though

Cheers! they look so similar.

I love your Dawes Luckyskull!

Heres mine, been tempted with a basket…

Will take proper photos one day

Got an old FW Evens MTB frame/fork/BB/canks if anyone wants it swap for something you have/beers and a donation. Ideal big BMX with basket project.

SRAM's had brifters for hydraulic brakes for a while: https://www.sram.com/sram/road/products/sram-red-22-doubletap-hydraulic-shifters

Probably not Red22 on that Trek though.

Dude it's an old cable pull one, either S900 or S500.

^^^^sure that's the 920, its a pretty old thread?

See previous page, there are 3 "new" models, 520, 720 and 920.

Can anyone ID these mudguards? or tell me the name of a pair of mudguards that will take 2.35" Big Apple's?

Chromoplastic P65

BAM! Gonna get a set myself.

Thanks Chak, not sure how I missed those!

Was really apprehensive on the fit, but put them on someone's bike yesterday and they're great. Good clearances even on 2.35".

Well, the CRC page even states that they'll fit 2.35 Big Apple's which is exactly what I want!

2.35 is about 60mm, the SKS is 65mm.

Is this for the ECR? Those ^ mudguards are for 26'' wheels. You'd need these ones, JB.

SKS Bluemels 28'' 65mm
