That’s sad news about Johns passing..
I have fond memories of our trip to Spain in’89.

Cool bike.. it’s the same colour scheme as mine. Mine was built by Giovanni Taverna at Vetta cycles.

Nice.. !

I hope to see it at the next Condor Festival.. whenever that maybe.
The one at Codicote in 2019 was excellent

Looks great, what year is that Barrachi ?

Animal Chin.. that brings back some memories!

That does look great !

Not with a flat tyre !

I must admit, I’m enjoying this thread more than the bike based threads.

I recall my Muddy Fox back in 1991 has about 5mm chainstay clearance either side of the rear tyre a 2.1 panaracer smoke !

Colin Sturgess rode one just like that in the 80’s..

I hope the welding and motivation haven’t got the better of you..
I had the same fixing up my old Hilux pickup. Now it’s running well, it looks a bit tatty and battered but hey it’s a pickup truck that spent 20 years on a building site. But I love it !

That’s cool.. !

Your Gillott is looking great !

I used to have a Breitling with a 24 hour dial, the hour hand doing one revolution per day.. very confusing at first.
Very busy face too what with the stop watch and all the hazards that go with that. I exchanged it for something a bit more ‘Fisher price’ with numbers I could read with out having to put my reading glasses on 🙄

Harrow is all locked up.. 🙄

It was the pea gravel thing I meant or temporary Herras fencing which has been put round a few local village parks..

Does anyone know if Harrow skatepark is open ?
As Hemels XC is closed but Dunstable skatepark is open..

I’ve just stumbled on this thread. I’ve two motorcycles I’ve restored firstly is a 1983 Fantic 240 trials bike the second is a brutal 1981 Suzuki PE400.
Both are now up for grabs !

This looks like a good deal..

But on the subject of wheel building
I downloaded The art of Wheel building by Gerd Shraner it’s great. It explains all you need to know. It’s in .pdf format too.

post I've had go missing....

I have noticed in some country lanes around Hertfordshire are festoon with ripped open amazon boxes 🤬

Yes the TK Maxx selection is good. The local butcher sells a Smokey Naga sauce, I couldn’t help my self and made the purchase.. but the ruin your dinner potential is quite high !!

Yes, that was me.. I think I’ll get some done soon. A small batch and see who’s interested in them.

Looks great, you'll love it.
I made that same choice two years ago , it's number 0912 on the track bike page.
