BTW, this one is fully fixed - no brake. Took it for a reasonable spin this arvo. The ratio is relatively high, so it's not exactly zippy.  Riding it actually reminded me of my learning to ri...

I built (re-built) this bike with the intention of selling it. Just an exercise in design. When it's all up and running, I'll be looking for $750 ($AU that is) for it (including $450 worth of whe...

The Peugeot has emerged, looking tres vintage in 'Claret'. (Not sure I'd be drinking any wine that colour, let alone something labeled 'claret'). Couldn't resist the white rims; kinda white-wa...

Following some negotiations, the Peugeot is reassigned to fix. Colour choice???? dunno.

This weekend has seen a delightful pair of bikes in for a spruce up (or gutting as the case may be).  The Peugeot - been looking for one of these for a while. This one set me back $30! Plan...

I wasn't sure about the idea of riding a freewheel with only a front brake, but have to admit I like it. While taking it for a spin, it occurred to me that it would be an interesting option to ...

It's not a fixy. Was lucky enough to pick up a pair of used Shimano wheels for bugger all. The rear is a standard road wheel with a cassette hub. I bought a $39 single speed conversion for it...

The goose neck on the pre-war Swansea I bought recently (post Feb 17th) has fused (rusted) to the steering column. My last resort is to apply heat.  The person who came up with 'Stuckness is ...

Mick's sons bike (identical model, post Feb 9th) has undergone surgery and will return tomorrow from the powder coaters. He's chosen French Blue - including the flat bars.

Mick decided he didn't want a paint job for his bike (post Feb 3rd), so it came down to new spokes, cables, tires and tubes, a scrub and a spot of white nail polish to touch up the really bad s...
