1935 Raleigh Sports path racer - a reluctant sale

I am so glad this is staying stock. Was just about to try and raise the cash to buy them. @Melsbikes has probably saved me a divorce.

Who knew LFGSS could beat Relate to it, eh?

My decree absolute came through in August!

Oh for that freedom @Melsbikes ;0)

I'm still 'negotiating' the Planet frame and build... almost there!

If I managed to hold down a relationship with four projects on the go, you can manage it!

PM-ed you @tjkwood, looks like it'll be a (p*ssed off) wife, three kids and two projects! Call it evens? :0)

I should learn from you two

Oh my goodness this bike is a wonder. I climb on it and smile. Taking off is like winding up a coiled spring. It's really hard on the legs and then at a point it springs forward. Then the guys who left me at the lights are suddenly alongside. Then in my dust. It's a mental bike. This has character. Is so sensitive to tyre pressures, body position, pedal down force. Get that wrong and twitch the bars and it punishes with a lunge to one side or another. But always surging forwards. Maybe it's just me. A lack of experience of higher geared bikes. But I'm ready for this. Bloody love it.

Nice!

It is a really special bike, that's for sure! I used to have it geared lower, but the addition of a 16 tooth freehweel just changed it completely - you have to earn that boost of speed, but when it hits you sure know about it... mental, character, sensitive... you've got it down to a tee already!

23 inch Roadster is now for sale too - waiting on depps, as he has dibs

anyone heard from depps lately? he's gone quiet on me!

Mmm nope...

He only wrote a comment here yesterday and before that 8 days ago.

cheers - the Moulton has been ordered you see, so I could do with topping up the fund!

I guess ;)
