Current Projects chat and miscellany

back on the road.
In time for the Tweed, for which I was too late!

1900s Path Racer. I bought it 5 years ago from a VCC officer, so there's no doubting it's the real deal, but of course nobody has any idea of the maker. Cycle parts are mostly Chater Lea, and fork is Raleigh.
It's fast and fun, and built to ride, not polish.
Ive just given it a gentle refurb, so it will be making appearances around town very soon!
Tonight I will mostly be varnishing grips and buffing saddle! There's a period flint catcher to go on as well.

beautiful!

you have a front brake? block-on-tyre type? << no, not block, there's a pic :-/
