Names and faces to bikes

Hi there :)

Just joined the forum, I am actually kattt's older sister for those who know her... I was in London the other week and went on the Eilidh ride which was a really awesome experience and made me think I'd like to possibly get into fg/ss (that and knowing how much Kat enjoys it).

I have my grandmother's old Peugeot and I'm trying to salvage the frame to use... I know it's pretty beat and it would be easier just to get a new bike but I think the challenge is part of the fun. Plus, I'll hopefully learn a lot about bikes.

I believe it's a 1974 UO-18, here's a pre-dissasembly and rust removal pic:

I know it's a low-end, mass-produced bike and probably not technically "worth" the work and money to make it rideable again, but I'm ok with that ;)

I graduated then as well. Didn't ride fixed back then though, just BMX.

i had a old second hand geared rayleigh which got pinched on uni campus..was an angry man!

Welcome, alysia, have fun with the conversion! Nice to meet you briefly on the Memorial Ride.

welcome dude!! :-D

The americans are coming, the americans are coming!

I fear my post has caused this thread to devolve rapidly.

Devolution is literally impossible on this forum.

...as much as Crispin tries.

For sure mate, I'm in Highfield so no distance. Do you commute from CF fixed?

When it's sunny I do. I really enjoy that commute, appart from some prick pulling out on me on the Asda roundabout in CF last week.

Give me a shout when you're down here dude.

YouTube - Devo - Smart Patrol/MrDNA (better quality)

My work is floundering in the face of intelligent debate re; should you wear a helmet or not, brakes or no brakes, the expense of Rapha, and whether £2000 is a good price for a real mink coat.

Intelligent debate is what the ignore function is for.

the ugly truth
