• Small update time.

    Recently me and my missus sold our 3rd floor flat and bought a 60s detached house which came with both a garage and a shed, things I’ve had to live without for a long time. This means I now have actual space for bikes and tools!

    Speaking of bikes, the Peugeot is still the crusty commuter, but I’ve put the old wheels back on it and gone back to the Nitto risers, and a front brake.

    The Look is slowly being pieced together with black parts and is looking sporty.

    And I jumped on the retro MTB trend and picked up a limited edition 1998 Saracen Savage frameset. The brightest of green, made from “7005 series heat treated oversize aluminium with custom clearance chainstays”.

    So far I’ve just chucked on some silver Kalloy Uno bars and stem, and I have the matching seatpost.

    The plan is 1x gearing and silver parts with black saddle and grips. Originally it would’ve had a yellow stem and yellow brakes.

  • Hello, I just signed up because I saw this. I have just started my first refurb and it just so happens to be a savage. I used to own one 20 years or so ago. Do you have any tips for a novice?
