Great old bike! Do you have a backstory to tell us about it?
I'm not really one for spinning a yarn like some on the forum.
This bike arrived in the UK from California in 2000. Spent 18 years running around London as a commuter hack for somebody who worked nights at a hospital.
A friend of mine rescued it from a front garden in 2018, looking pretty sorry for itself an in a hell of a state
He spent months stripping it down, sourcing new parts, blasting it and repainting the frame.
He then got bored of it and i picked it up in crates in 2020. Put it together this spring in response to high fuel prices
