E.H. Inspired Teaser Thread
My wanton pursuit of a Classic touring bike has come to an end. I pick up the glorious hand built Euro Reynolds 531 gem tomorrow.
Pics in due time.........no later than Tuesday, depending on the return to the Hacienda tomorrow evening.

Not a bad guess. You're in the proper half of Europe, being North, so that eliminates Italian.
At least I can drive to get it, and not have to wait out the UPS guy, and worry about it being crushed in transit!

Nah, this is a much more relaxed approach to cycling. Actually, I just had this broken in B-17 sitting around and needed some place to store it.........
I'm going over to the "stop and smell the roses" side. It's a Dawes Super Galaxy. It may need to blessed since it commits the heracy of Shimano and Campy mixed on the same bike. Nah, it's fine
It does need a seat post, new stem, a seat, and new cables. Luckily, I have those.
