Thought I'd share pics of the family's collection of bikes.

We love getting out as much as possible, and with the weather warming up, that will be a lot more.

Cheers,

Except for the tyres and pedals (Which I replaced), it is original as far as i know.

The tyres that were on it are a brand called Swallow, made in Korea. Not sure if they are era correct, but they must be fairly old because the rubber was deteriorating, and I couldnt find oem dual white line tyres, so had to settle for whitewalls.

I am definately in awe of your collection of bikes.
