New ride
Posted: 07 Jul 2018, 09:09
Having not had a road bike for for about 5 years and having not even ridden a bike at all since DNFing in my last ride at the Manx nearly 3 years ago I went and picked this up a few weeks ago, needed something cheap to get to work.
It had been partially stripped by someone who had grand ideas of some sort of project without any idea how to achieve this goal! So I put it all back together and got it running again and off we went.
It definitely falls into the fugly bracket (functional but ugly) but it's fine as a commuter.
Just goes to show that old habits die hard as after a weeks worth of riding I'm already giving serious thought as to upgrading suspension and brakes!
