Philplop Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Not yet, but my mammy said she might let me play in the street rather than just on the lawn because I am a big boy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 So have you bought yourself a new bike?And 1 day and 1 hour from 1931 on Sat evening, is a funny time for a delivery or a bike shop to be open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kristoffer Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 where did you go for a ride silver and did you take any photos from your trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 From Home in Perth to Luncarty, Redgorton, Pitcairngreen, Almondbank and back home: here if you are interested...Sorry no pic's.Good little 10miles; it shows 9.8 miles onm Googlemaps, but I was on the cycle path which takes a slightly different rout from the A9 'til the first turn to Luncarty. I'll have to do it every week to gauge my improvement. I thought I was out for an hour, but TSO reckons it was more like 45mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yeah, there's a cheap one I'm watching on eBay ending just now. Dunno if it's cheap enough though, considering I know that I'll never actually ride it. I recently got a new mountain bike though so I've been using that quite a bit.

Silver! Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Retro bikes are really "in" at the moment. I sold my ANC-Halfords race rep for a bargain £60 in '96 when I got my MTB as I only had a small flat at the time and with all my climbing stuff and 2 bikes I needed the space.I was looking on eBay and bike forums and seen 2. One for £180 and 1 for £300.Pic's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Red would sit nicely on top of your Lupo.I did actually look for bikes with a silver\grey frame, but they were either below or above my budget.Well there was a Scott, but the shop ignored me when I went to look at it, so I wasn't giving them my business.

Philplop Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'd be better of with a cream one to stand in the back of the caddy in my awesome bike rack I built!I think if I paint it it will either go all white or a retro green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I don't need to ask, I know it! And I will constantly sing it while I'm riding. Just picked it up tonight, it seems good and fast. It's got a big headlight and dynamo on it. I'm gonna take that and the reflectors and other parephanelia off. I don't need safety aids.

Silver! Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I wasn't going to bother with a helmet, but TSO made me get one.I was concerend she was going to ask about elbow and knee pads too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) I wasn't bothered about a helmet, but on our first mountain biking expedition my mate came off on a downhill track, smashed his face in and couldn't remember if he'd gotten out of bed that morning. And he had a helmet on. So I bought one. Edited June 12, 2012 by Philplop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
