c1930s Racing bike

I go for short rides on a c1930s fixed gear racing bike. I have since added quil pedals and toe clips since the photo was taken. It has had a long and somewhat hard life and the rear wheel needs replacing and the front chainring works loose on the spider after about 10kms. I also have a 1956 Humber Sports with AG three-speed dynohub and full chaincase that I ride occasionally. The humber is just about to get a FG four-speed dynohub and has recieved a reproduction sprung leather saddle.
