right, apart from a headbadge and a polish, i'm done

i went down the old coach road on my vehicle. it's no vehicles, but part of the NCN. :roll:

quite a photogenic place though

the very, very old franch cranks

i taped from the middle to the ends.

48 at the front and 24 at the back gives 42/56/75 - nice range for a fairly heavy cruising machine

my brush paint and stripes c/o a beluger

and the comfiest brooks i've ever had the privilege of putting my behind on

i hope you all approve :mrgreen:

30 miles today (c.50kms for our friends in NL 8) ) it's perfect, the geometry really is delighfully smooth. better than a 29er over rough tracks

You did justice to this classic ride, congrats.

 

[Skipton]

Nice!

Very nicely done.

Fine job; love the pinstripes, bars, brakes (and levers) and especially that classy Raleigh frame!

I've got just one question: what's the rest of the trailheadsign that reads "No dum..." say? No dummies? Man, if we had those in the States!

it's no dumping.

some people who have vans with old carpets & fridges in like to drop them around the countryside rather than take them to the recognised waste places.

they undercut decent honest traders this way.

dummies is a good word.
i can think of, but not type, more suitable words :wink:
