@platypus in the new year I might look at making a few to sell, but my sewing skills leave a lot to be desired! Sturdy but cosmetically lacking.
@bobble not this time, just up and around Greno, need to get out for a big Peaks xc loop on it.
Finished work for Christmas, which meant getting my old road bike vaguely cobbled back together. Bikes now stand at:
I'm not a big road rider but every so often I fancy it, so I've cobbled the GB back together. I picked it up for £50 about 8 years ago, a 1993 Geoffrey Butler 531c frame with a 7 speed 105/Deore LX, Cinelli finishing kit and Campag/105 hubbed wheels. Well worth the money but nothing fancy. It's since been a road bike/fixed gear/flat barred/SS.
Now sporting Sora R3000 shifters off the Charge and a bodged 9 into 8 speed cassette to go on the old 6/7/8 speed freehub. Only single ring at the moment but York is flat enough that it should be fine. Just waiting on cable guide adapters to go on the down tube bosses/bar tape/an inline seatpost. The old bars and stem give me the heebies due to being 25 yr old alu so they might have to be swapped, though the bike won't get a huge amount of heavy use.
Forgive the neighbours grubby wall/crap photo.
