Thanks chaps.
Took the Jim Guard to the Cycling Festival at Brooklands on Sunday. Even attempted to get it up Test Hill but only managed to get half way! Not low geared enough, and ended up pulling the rear wheel out of true and it rubbed the chain stay. Would like to think I made it to the 1:4 section, but in reality I think the 1:5 stopped me!
There was one little stall selling a few nice bike bits, and I picked up a large Millar bell for a fiver (same as the Lucas 'Challis'), and this lovely little Constrictor lamp bracket for £6.
We rode there from my friends in Ash Vale. Averaged 14mph over the 33 mile round trip, which for a sluggard like me was good going!
