Received a box today . Contained a Yellow Bundy track bike that I purchased from a fellow forumite. Will post pics in coming dayz.

tell me more about the spring on the seatpost. i'd love one of those on my mtb (without paying through the nose for some modern swanky version).

The Breeze and Angell Hite-Rite, iconic piece of 80's mountain bike kit

They come up on fleebay US pretty regularly.. I have a black spring race version (shorter travel) sitting in a drawer somewhere.

nice work. thank you, mate!
love your bike too, btw. the patina adds to the charm.

Finished for now. Needs less chainring.

Jim

nice chainring looks fine

The slight rises around here disagree with my knees when combined with this chainring. Plus the cranks spider is bent.

Looks great mate. That chainring screams "knee grinding goodness!"

+1

Only ring to ride in is the big dog!

Was disappointed when I had to go down from a 52 to a 49 chainring same ratio, 17/16t sprockets, but it looks less imposing

I'll bet. Hoping to give one a blast over the weekend...

I know i've posted it before but i finally got around to putting the head badge on and taking a pic with the right saddle, and that's excuse enough for me .

1986 Dawes Shadow. I recently found out it's actually Reynolds 500, not 531, but i had the stickers lying around so thought what the hell. Absolutely love this bike, really smooth, handles well and goes like stink.





And yea i know i need to trim that brake cable outer but the ziptie will do for now .

Well done Dave, looks great!

Still a work in progress.

Nice, what make is it? And is it painted or powdercoat?

It a Protour Cavalier.Painted in a dark metallic green(looks light in the photo)

Oh nice, i had a Protour a few years ago, it was a nice ride. Is that Sherwood metallic? I sprayed my Tom Wallace in that, looks really good in the sun.

Treated the commuter to a clean and covered up some of the paint chips it received when thrown into the bushes when I was hit by a car earlier this year. Also added new stem and bars I scored ridiculously cheap on fleabay.

^^ looks like new, even the chain ring is pristine.

Lots of elbow grease, degreaser & a fortunate photo that doesn't show up all the dings!
