  • Took my Denton out in a run today and having removed the horrid Conti Top Touring tyres that have been on it for 6 months and replaced them with 28c Vittorias, I actually enjoy riding it again. The Contis made it feel like riding wooden cart wheels by comparison! On the to do list is to finally get a matching rear wheel for the dyno front one and to install the nice matching king bottle cages I've had sitting for ages, otherwise it fits like a glove and has travelled with me all over Europe and still going strong... Hoping to get the mudguards off soon and ready it for some sunnier days.

  • That's really lovely! Don't see a lot of Dentons about. Sounds like you're in Scotland but did you get the bike in the North East?

    I think I've cycled past that rock before - did Berwick pon de Tweed > Edinburgh last summer!

  • Did you take the route west towards, and through, Innerleithen?

  • Yeah I've not seen many either-think Denton just bought frames from a few quality builders and put shop decals fitted though so maybe they've all been re-sprayed by now? I got it on Retrobike about 5 yrs ago for buttons with a deore/biopace groupset and C-Record wheels. pretty sure it's a Mercian-built KOM frame that was rebadged for Denton but have never checked with them to confirm. 531ST and all the braze ons you need anyway and the chrome is still perfect even of the paint's seen better days-riding it around through Swedish sub zero temperatures certainly didn't help! I just sold my Ti Enigma audax because I knew I couldn't part with the Denton so I think that reflects its value to me quite well :)
