Hello from Newcastle England
Hi all.
I am an ex cycle mechanic with not much experience with road stuff and almost none with retro and vintage. I worked for myself for a few months before a motorbike accident ensured I could not use tools for almost a year. Now I just drive a van.
Don't ride anywhere near as much as I would like and currently own a decent spec hardtail mtb and a cheapish hybrid.
Always fancied a vintage racer and managed to pick up what I believe to be an early Falcon Black Diamond. It is currently stripped to its bear frame and away to be painted.
Got a few questions but will ask those in the correct place.
Ride safe.
