Your's is a smacking beaut. Bought mine new in Cheltenham in 84 - I was told that it was probably already several yrs old. Travelled throughout England during my 5-yr stay with the marvelous machine. Glad you enjoy your's. I like your values.

"Twiddling" = low gear and fast cadence - good for old knees! As opposed to "honking" which is staying in high gear and standing on the pedals (like Tour de France)Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-1166036089464763192006-12-13T18:54:00.000+00:002006-12-13T18:54:00.000+00:00Really spectacular.

Respected studies have shown that they are useless in a real "head -on". The bits that get the damage are knees, hands and elbows when you come off. Helmets are useful for kids when they are larking around - and that is about all.Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31082363.post-1164985891388353372006-12-01T15:11:00.000+00:002006-12-01T15:11:00.000+00:00Luverly, just luverly.

Am not keen to wear the regulatory helmet or the thought of cycling up our hills in summer heat. Think I'll stick to walking with the hound for now :)herhimnbrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182397064631016552noreply@blogger.com
