Not sure I agree with much of that - at 68 I usually get to the gym 3 times a week for 1 hr weights sessions in order to maintain muscle tone and bone density. I don't do massive weight but 2kg....lightweights!
Don't see why we need a high protein diet either - balanced is best...
Did you mean to put "1986"? Looks like "SUPER1183" on the seat tube. Lovely bike and great price - this would have been made for me if I didn't already have an '88 Record!
About ten years ago I went to a fixed wheelie competition on the Mall - on a Sunday so no traffic - organised by Super Ted, I think. Someone managed most of the length of the Mall iirc.
Only info I can find is from The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles by Jan Heine and Jean-Pierre Praderes, beautifully illustrated with other early innovations as well.
It's a "bi-chain" with two sprockets each side giving four gears or eight, I think there are two chainrings each side, - one of Velocio's own builds about 1909/10.
Ah yes, know you now from the description and Crouch End/gym link; was a great day for some leisurely riding by the coast - not sure I would have wanted to be fishing in the competition, though!
Hi jv, trying to think of who you are but failing miserably I'm afraid - any clues?
Still try to get to the bis (beis) gym now and again and usually out on the bike most days for one reason or another. In Isle of Sheppey this w/e for a bit of bracing seaside riding. Best, Alan
My wife worked for a Shoreditch-based FinTech start-up as project manager; her job title was then changed to client success manager earlier this year - she resigned soon afterwards...
At nearly 67 I can still manage the hills (I live at the top of one) and got back on the bike asap last year following an accident which left me with a broken leg and collar bone. The bike is still my primary form of transport - just back in after a bracing ride along the Kent coast.
