Project retro racer

Ha Ha, my latest toy, this ones a little cheaper than the last one though

take one cheap road bike from the local paper...



add one classic racing green paint job...



and a few old style parts and we get a nice retro looking cycle inspired by the old path racers of years gone by...





still need to finish things off before i can ride it, maybe get some tan wall tyres, leather saddle bag ???

now, where did i put my tweed jacket and long socks ???

OK, OK, you twisted my arm here's a few more classics, as seen at Coventry transport museum

I wondered where I left my chopper!!

I do know what I did with my Paris Galibier though and am still kicking myself for giving it away.

Bring back the Raleigh Grifter

you see, thats why kids are so unfit these days. all these light aluminium bikes make them lazy.

if they had to lug around a few tonnes of Raleigh Grifter, it would do them the world of good

Spent many happy days on that bike, with a lolly pop stick running across the spokes on the rear tyre
