Received the bike tonight.
First thing - It weighs a fuck ton.
That's ok though, it'll save me going to the gym.
Other than that, it all seems in pretty good nick. I just chucked it together in the dark to have a wee ride and it was ok.
Some stuff needs doing like the front wheel bearings are a tad loose, the dropouts on the fork appear to have been filed from 10 to 14mn, badly. I'll sort that out ASAP. The bolts on the rear hub were playing up, roli g the wheel forward when I tightened them and needing the other side holding with a spanner, a wee clean n grease should go a long way to fixing that I think.
The bare are rather narrow but I'm going to persevere.
