Title: newbie saying hi
Post by: lewis1641 on October 29, 2011, 05:17:32 am

hi all. heard about you from www.retrobike.co.uk forum, thought i would call and say hi.

Initially only searching for info on a replacement mech hanger but you all seem like a friendly bunch.

I have an almost period correct 852, sadly it has lost its original paint and decals but soes have a ti bar/stem combo

just built a 955 from shed floor sweepings

and also have a beast frame with ods shock.

the plan was to have an early rigid/elastomer, a newer dampened/elastomer/girvin bike and then the all singing coil/oil front and rear.

Welcome!!!!

Those are some nice looking bikes. We endeavor to keep these running, as they are the bee's knees. ;D

nice looking rides.  I like mine so much I keep buying and rebuilding more.  Plus I am too lazy and cheap to invest megabucks in a new bike.
