On yer bike!

Mike, cool collection of photos and super outfits, the experience sounded great fun.

One for the list.

I just posted this pic in a different thread, sorry for the double post. Then I started scrolling and found this bike specific thread! This is an old pic from 2012.

 

The bike is a late 1980's Colnago Master Piu.

 

1930's Stadion arrived today. Will make a military bicycle from it.

 

After 20+ years of bike collecting...




I discovered last week that I have all original bike parts to build a complete bike.
Even the screws to attach the Schwinn Head badge.


On days that I cannot ride my bike... I'll be working in the spare time to put
this beauty together.

Jake, the bonafide bike junkie!

Bartali at various stages of his career

 

Does anyone have a rough idea about what sort of saddlebags they used to use on club runs in the 30s-50s. Currently looking to get a Carradice one- seen a few Nelson ones on fleBay, but they seem a little big, not sure if the Barley is too small?

 

Incredible guys ❤

 

Fabulous gents

 

If you ever ride out locally for fitness or practice, make a point of taking the A35 through Lyndhurst and on towards Christchurch. About three miles on from Lyndhurst you will come to The Holmsleigh Tea Rooms, formerly Holmsleigh railway station. It's a lovely ride and a great watering hole, sadly, like everywhere else at present, it's in lockdown. I'm looking forward to seeing the place reopen, I don't have an SJC shirt but I do have some of his shoes.
