i remember that about the freezer !

one of my funniest memories as a kid, a mate across the road who was about 3 years older than us got a brand new blue/yellow burner on his birthday, all us about 6, him about 9, we were all amazed/jelous by it, what a bike

he made a load of us all line up at the bottom of the hill, said im going to show you a trick called an endo ! he came flying down the hill slammed on the front brake....and did about 6 cartwheels right in front of us and both him and the bike ended up completley mangled, broke his arm and all sorts, funny as fook il never forget that

Now, that's a very proper track bike - fixed wheel, I presume? Where did you race it - Herne Hill velodrome?

I had a productive day yesterday fitting the steering column and refitting one of DanThe's steering links.

Think I'll have a crack at wiring tomorrow. Might even fire it up for the first time in a while

Correct ha, brakes are expensive, break all the time, dont fit over fat tyres and can impale you if you fall. Replacing shoes is expensive though.....
