Pre 1950s rides of LFGSS: old bikes, vintage rats, classic lightweights

Lunchtime shakedown run complete. Did 10-12 miles out through Bushy Park, Kingston, towards Esher and back in via Hampton Court.

It rides really nicely. I think if you were used to 30s bikes and had this built in 1938/39, you’d be properly impressed! It’s light, flies along, steering is precise and it’s comfy. Would ride again.

Tweaks needed:

• need to fit my toe clip spacers.
  
• bottom bracket needs nipping up now it has settled in.
  
• might give the pump pegs a quick squeeze together as the pump jumped out a couple of times.
  
  

Otherwise, pretty much ready to go.
