  Wow! 8.5kg for a steel audax bike with guards on!? I want one!
  Nice colour. Excellent choice.

  Nice! Not bad for a steel one, all-up. Like the build. 👍🏻

  Just dug out a picture of it as it was in 1996... stayed this way until about 3 weeks ago. The tyres were fitted in early 2000s I think, along with bar tape, and stem, but otherwise unchanged. Never did like that stem but there weren't many available back then that had the removable plate making it easier to change bars. Second picture was taken last year, after a few bits were updated. Other than the tyres and bar tape, still got all the original equipment. Will try to fix the shifters but not holding my breath.

  Nice one! Post a picture!
  Think mine has original binder bolt AND the headset. 😎

  This is as it was for most of the last 25 years

  Cheers! I remember when speccing the bike I'd thought of everything but the colour, so when they asked me I was like "er... red? Post box red?"

  Its lasted well and is easy to touch up.👍🏻

  Better picture. Just got in so light fading. Changed the saddle and put road pedals on. Hopefully going for a spin tomorrow.

  An old thread, but these are old bikes. Here's mine. Commissioned in 1996 and just been reborn (last night) with 2019 Ultegra. It was equipped with 1996 shimano 600 ultegra but the shifters finally gave up. In about 2000 the right hand seat stay cracked just below the seat clamp bolt and m steel/Dave Yates told me to send it back. They fixed it and resprayed it for free. Nice.
