Ah, horizontal top tubes, nice straight lines, quill stems, jumpers for goalposts, rickets, diptheria etc.......

Pretty much only the frame remains original. 🙂

Weighs a ton & the most uncomfortable bike I've ever owned - bonded aluminium, no flex or give whatsoever. 😀
Still love it though.
Not our garden, btw. 😛
Any more?
1996? I can beat you by about ten years there Sonny Jim...

Owned this for about five minutes. A car jumped through a give way line and left me for dead. Five days in hospital with a list of broken body parts dampened my enthusiasm for road riding somewhat.
I've got an early sixties Viking SS frame in the shed that I keep meaning to build up as something daft. Its suffered a lot of indignity in its former life, it has two different dropouts fitted - one vertical on the right and forward sliding one on the left- and someone has made space for a triple by belting the chain stay with a hammer. A lot.
So I'm not planning to go down the authentic renovation route.
My Coppi has just been retired. No pics of it, so have this instead.
I know the whereabouts of the lovely lady (me mum) in the pic, but not the bike I'm holding 🙂

Nice matching haircuts
I dug out my old peugeot elan from my folks garage. I had it when I was about 15 or 16, I'm 40 now.

Cleaned it up, redished the rear wheel for a fixed cog, couple of rolls of bar tape and some new brake blocks.
I used to have a Super Record equipped Merckx pretty much identical to this one. Sadly marriage, work and children meant it was sold. (Sobs nostalgically)
