Also my steampunk heavyweight lemon-yellow classic Apollo III. Surprisingly nimble, even though they don't make frames from cast-iron any more. It's all original apart from the handlebar tape, the saddle and the pedals, and I still have the saddle and pedals.

In retrospect, it probably wasn't such a good business move from Apollo to make bikes that last 25 years with minimal maintenance.
A lot of people have these as ironic hipster retro-cool bikes. But I bought this brand new way back when phone numbers still had six digits.

Not sure if I can claim retro hipster points if I was there at the time.

The Cycle Inn isn't there any more, but put a 62 in front of that number and you'll get through to TLC Cycles in Phillip, just around the corner from the original store where I bought this.
