So I've got a new bike under construction, and the time has come for it's predecessor to go. It's been a fantastically reliable commuter, and has even ventured past the M25 on multiple occasions. It's one of the last workshop-built Cartons from the early 80's. It's got new Tektro R559 calipers and levers, a set of Armadillo tyres which are still completely serviceable and relatively new wheels. The frame is Ti Truwel (Ti = Tube Investments, not titanium..) - nothing fancy but still has the great ride quality steel is known for. No dents/serious damage, just chips in the paintwork consistent with it's age. Everything is pretty well covered by the pics.
