Thanks this is not an ‘off road ‘ bike and at 55 I won’t be hammering down any hills at 50mph

I’ve a 21” cube mountain bike that I rarely use as I find it too ‘cramped’ compared to my 54cm hybrid- the tap says there’s 2” difference between the bars and the back of the saddle - would a longer...

Definitely- getting fed up with the weather -

Just back from a 180m break

Yeh I’ve spent a couple of hours on it
Chain and gears all freed up and lubed
Seat post was fine - had a bontrager saddle in my ‘spares’ box
It’s missing a small cover off the bottom of the gear...

Picked up a bit of a classic project this morning

It was but I’m a sucker - returning in November this year for another go - great fun in rural Cuba

As I’ve said I have an 1 x 11 Boardman pro hybrid- I also had a 1 x 10 Boardman MTB for my daily commute- for my the 1 x 10 was ok for the couple of miles to work but more than that No good for road...

I have a Boardman pro with sram 1 x 11
I’m no pro just use it to get around a keep fit - 20-30ish miles at a time - couple of times a week
I love the simplicity of 1 x 11 and don’t think I’d...

Was 1000ft climb - pebbles only no sand

Much cooler today
Took a ride along the coast - decided to push the bikes along the beach - a walk we’ve done many times - great fun
...

Just signed to return to Cuba in November for a 10 day trip
Now looking for a bike to take - I’ll leave it there at the end of the ride for a local in need

I cycled the 1.5 miles to the beach - 20 min dip to cool off the 1.5m home - that’s enough for this heat

Not ground breaking repairs but pleased to have disassembled, freed up and rebuilt a sticky free hub on my daughters Specaized
Bought it a few weeks ago for £50- Guy said the chain was slipping all...

They say beauty is in the eye of the the beholder

Just picked this up locally

15m ‘Wildlife’ ride this morning
A large buzzard really close up- then a seal and finally a dolphin off the harbour arm
Fantastic

Nice to see the weather improving- popped out early doors for a quick(ish) 10 miles

Looks like you’ve done a great job
I picked this up today hopefully to bring back to life- ill pick a new chain up tomorrow but I think forks will be what I’ll struggle with...

I feel the 2nd hand markets gone crazy with people selling rusty old crap for silly money
One of my 2 girls wanted something to get out for a bit of excersise - best I could do was an old Raleigh...

Here’s my 8.6 which I use for work but I also have the hybrid pro which is great (recently took it around Cuba and was faultless- bar loosing the front brake an the 2nd day)...

Just picked this up
