Really classy looking with the black, the cream and the gold.

Thanks all.

Trashed the fork last weekend while riding the bike.

Fortunately a friend took a pic before the crash.

Now I'm looking for a fork. :?

 

[Galtbacken]

Hope you didn't hurt yourself in the crash!

 

[Crank!Basti]

Not at all. I just did not see that .... minivan while checking my hubs rolling down the street. .... car stood right there with the tailgate open. When I looked up it was right in front of me and I ran into it with about 20km/h. Found myself in the back of the car - no hurts at all but the fork was bent bad.

 

[Galtbacken]

Although it's a bummer (spoken like the dude) that the fork got bent, it's good to hear that you're alright.

 

[Crank!Basti]

I'm really glad too. Think about a station wagon instead of a minivan - it would have hit the tailgate right into my face. *outch!* Gotta love minivans :-D

Really nice bike, better then the pashley.
But please for your behinds sake, accept this advice:
For the seat to function properly, you need to turn the nut under the front of your seat.
If the bolt moves with it, use a vicegrip to keep it in place.
This will stretch the leather over the seat-frame as it is supposed to do.

 

[Crank!Basti]

thanks for your advice. Will do.

Good to see you found an appropriate fork to keep this beauty alive with. I once hit a parked car while checking my driveline. My old iron fork and front wheel were not visibly damaged though. Unfortunately, (and somewhat strangely), my head tube got de-raked and my rear wheel turned into a taco. :?
