    Hallo Rowan ,As a former carer for my elderly mother I will say you can only do what time will allow .nice t see a update on the Ian May A very nice frame . I picked up an old bike last week .A Phillip's sports bike .its pretty old because it has a lubrication point on the bottom bracket .It just needed a good clean and a puncture repair At £15 I couldnt turn it down. I am now up to 5 bikes ,All sports bikes .

      Good to see you back.
      In your absence I bought a fantastic original condition 1974 Hercules Balmoral 23” frame. Quite hard to find in the larger frame size. Just love the green!
      The same bike as my dear old mum bought new back in the day, and then had stolen a few months later from outside a Hertfordshire post office while she quickly popped in for a 2d stamp……

      Ooh I love those. It’s basically a Wayfarer/Esquire/Transit etc but it’s such a beautiful green and lovely transfers. I have a Commuter, the successor.

    put some corner bars on and keep the mtb shifters etc

      @billyjo1148 thanks for the suggestion but I hate them. Unfortunately they work well which makes me the bad man for removing them 😂.
      Anyway they are gone now and I will show later what it has and what it’s getting. Full LX.

      Nice to meet you Mike. I found you through Coldwarmotors last week. Enjoying your content and style. I’ve also been playing with old cars since I was a wee sprout. Mostly vintage stuff and weird frenchies.
