  • OK today I have picked up 3 bikes, kindly donated to me from a garage clearance:

    1. Raleigh Wayfarer (another!)
    2. Pannonia Classic
    3. Hercules Balmoral

    Off the Pannonia I have removed the brake levers and calipers. Pannonia is an Austrian made bicycle. The brakes are Altenburger Baillant. Nice quality and different to the Raleigh ones. Have cleaned them up and they look a treat. Gonna polish them up.

  • That's a nice Raleigh there.

  • Thats not a raleigh (well sort of not anyway...), that is a Hercules Balmoral. It is very similar to the one that I have got, but got side pull not rod brakes, it even has a Brooks Saddle on it... I really like it and am gonna keep it for myself. Does anyone want any vintage bikes?

  • Have you got pics of the others? And prices?

  • I'd be interested to see what you have please, I am thinking about getting something more upright to help my poor old back

  • You can have the Pannonia if you like Matt. Needs an awful lot of TLC but it is yours if you want it...

    Got some other bits you can swap out on it too... You can come and have a look if ya like. Let me know when you feel better...

    Oh yeah, and as it is you, you can just have it. The Pannonia is Austrian, and larger than the other. Would make a great project.

  • Many thanks to "PeterDoig" off the forum for giving me a vintage Reynolds lugged stem. Started on the polishing last night. Gonna enqire about having part of it painted and the lugwork chromed!

  • Should look somewhat like this 50's Mercian Stem

  • Many thanks to Kepel for lending me the bb spanner. Finally got the BB off. Woo-hoo! Gotta do some paint stripping later!

  • Excellent, Glad that shit worked out good for you bro.

    If you need the frame dropped at the coaters, let me know, i'll pop it in on the way to work...

  • Talking of old bikes, my dynamo has stopped working. Anyone got a soldering iron I can borrow?

  • we have one at the lock up that I can bring home after this weekend...
