Seems that lockdown gas changed the way many of us have been cycling. For me it’s been a time to dig out an old touring bike and purpose for fetching and carrying
Behold - ‘The egg bike’:
I need to go and get farm eggs during lockdown. I also need exercise. Farm eggs hereabouts live on trestle-tables with honesty boxes. To get to them I need to cross common land, gravel roads, tracks, certain hills and back lanes.
Last year I bought this old British Eagle ( 531 Super Tourist) with the plan of doing it up (it’s actually near perfect as is) and reinstalling the drop bars etc
Apart from a quick spin on the Ridgeway last autumn it’s been hidden away since, so will be interesting to see how it fares longer-term. Need to get some better pedals on it, maybe cages/straps.
Lovely old thing. What have you dug out, changed or repurposed?
I like that!
My Kona Unit has been hanging from the rafters for a good 12 months since I borrowed the brakes from it for my fat bike.
Chucked some shonky but functioning Elixirs on it and away we go.
I should squirt some fresh sealant in the tyres too really.
