Car (or bike) Chat!

Talking of bikes. I've been looking around for a vintage pushbike, preferably a 26" wheel gents tourer with Sturmey Archer gears.

Got my eye on this local offering and waiting for a date/time to view. I rather like the metallic 'turd' colour :).

Naturally, I'd remove the daft kiddies seat, saddle cover and basket. I've had a few like this and like them, perfect for pottering about.

I just renovated a 20" wheel folding shoppers bike for a bit of fun. It rides really well!

gotta leave the basket. put your bread in it:lol:

Ridley Scott ('Alien' et al) directed that commercial. Never knew that until the other day when I saw a documentary about him.
