newbie saying hi
« 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.

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.
