Current Projects chat and miscellany

Cheers all for the nice comments regarding the Harry Hall. I asked Her Ladyship if she does indeed feel lucky as per some of your posts, to which she replied "hmm, well it did take a year...". Typically droll. It didn't take a year by the way, it just kept getting sidelined.

Do you mind providing a full spec list? Do you have a "RAL" for the colour (I was thinking of a slightly blue-er celeste but that is lovely)? Those mudguards are perfect (I was wondering where to get hold of a set like ... but I think you just solved that. Are those the Wolber/Mailard wheels from the original sale? The ones on the bike I have are badly rusted so I've been looking at 27" rims but can't find much that I like on my budget.

I'll find out the RAL and get back to you. The colour is like celeste but bluer.

Reminds me of that Harry Enfield sketch:

Two men after a conversation about cars:
"so, er..what's the wife driving at the moment"
"Peugeot 205"
nods in approval "safest option"

Tee hee. My first car was a 205.
