Current Projects chat and miscellany

Finally got this sorted and went for a little ride today. It's a late 50s or early 60s Pennine, fully restored with either original or period correct British, French or Italian parts (except the tyres). I bought it as a wreck almost two years ago, got the frame resprayed by Vaz and rode it as a conversion for a little while, but decided to build it back up with gears last autumn. Getting all the right bits (and cleaning them up) was a real quest, but worth the effort. I'm pleased with it.

wow! fantastic work
