I am in the city most of this week as wifie has to do actual in-class teaching rather than online, so I was able to spend some time working on my city Romets. Of course, three days in and one student has coronavirus and wifie is back to online teaching...
Although it still needs some work, including replacing the missing spoke, wifie is really pleased with the look of my Turing with its baskets fitted - and she grew up with them everywhere. I love just pootling around on it.
I finally got round to fitting the rear rack on Big R, one of my four Romet Jubilats.
Both bike designs date from the late 60s / early 70s and both of these came off the production lines in the 90s. The handlebars will be changed on the Jubilat and maybe the steering stem - they came off two of my other Jubilats. And the bell, which is original but tends to go 'ting' over every little bump.
This Jubilat is my most original and also my least favourite - it rides well enough, and the handlebars are fun, but I will be happy to see it go to a new home.
