No. A night in the pub would probably hospitalise me, alcohol seems to clash with my meds so I've had to pack it in. Much to my disappointment.Originally Posted by guy
pub bike?
I have a few old steel racing bikes that I have done up - great fun getting them up and running
I love vintage racing bikes, a sixties Freddie Grubb or Claud Butler would be very nice.

Waiting to see if I'm going to be banned from a forum for being a mysogynist. I don't believe I am, but perhaps I just can't see it?

my mate had a claud butler racer when a teenager. i had an old steel framed bike(nhad a good name tho but I cant remember it). we used to cycle out to places like loch lomond/ trossachs with them when only 13/14/15. you'd get jailed for letting kids do that now i guess.

Sorry to hear about the clash between your meds and alcohol.
My mate has quite a few bikes, he works for a scrap metal company and it is amazing what is dumped - he got a Geoffrey Butler in fair nick from the scrap (he also has a Grubb).
My collection includes; a Carpenter, MBK,Carlton, Raleigh (made by Carlton), Dancelli, F C Parkes and a Mercian - all steel, the Carpenter frame dates back to about 1957 and is a lovely ride.
Started as a hobby doing up scrap bikes, and got a bit out of control!
I also have an Orange "clockwork" MTB, but my wife seems to have taken that.

I found a scruffy vintage Puch racer dumped in the street years ago. I tarted it up a bit, put flat bars on and rode it to work (and the pub) for ten years. It was a good bike! Did over 2000 miles a year on it.

They were not well known in the UK then, quality build though.

Found a good picture on ebay, it's a Puch Cavalier from the seventies. The very same model as mine, I recognise the frame lugs and chainguard. I painted mine white and as I said, put flat bars on.
