I decided to get back into it on a semi-serious level, after many years of almost non-cycling. The kids are old enough to enjoy a pedal, so I've got this rig to go along with them:-
2001 Norco Storm MTB, which I upgraded to Deore XT F & R derailleurs.
I've also go the old girl, a 1989 Peugeot PE10DW Aubisque, with Shimano Exage group set (BioPace crankset) - yes in need of some TLC and no longer strictly original. I bought it when I was 17 and it was fine, but realised after about age 25 that the frame was too small for me and I didn't like the feeling propped over the front wheel, so it hasn't been out much in the past few years:-
So, to get back into it, I recently picked this rig up on Ebay. I probably paid too much for it, but wanted to keep the theme - to match my MTB. It is a 2002 Norco RD-2, with Ultegra groupset and it is VERY smooth and quick and LIGHT (compared to the Peugeot anyway!). First time with clipless pedals and I think I've got the hang of them after doing a heap of laps around my front driveway - I hope!!!
I'll try and rack up some k's over the summer:-
BTW - this site is fantastic - lots of good info and helpful people.
cheers
