Jaymz:
New pedals arrived today, much to my disappointment I' bought mini pedals in my drunk ebaying session. BUT offered them up and hey ho they look pretty cute, also built bike back up as need a daily rider as the dog likes to run beside me, found in the shed my sons unused GT saddle we swapped for a DMR one so wrangled that selle royal one off and jimmied the GT one one, it's comfy slightly bulky, but i do ride for miles on my bikes

few pics for your delectation




the mrs's dog approves

Thank you, I couldn't see the old girl go to waste, I saw way too much potential, still a way to go with her: paint, new rear cable, grips, spider and chain ring and finally wheels

Jaymz:
i've finally decided what to name her! it's pretty self explanatory why i have chosen this name, just made up some graphics this morning

Jaymz:
Picked up a bmx i won on ebay a few weeks ago, the chap kindly held it for me til now! It's a specialized fatboy vegas, I only bought it for the wheels, as i've never really liked the bernardi mags, and they have a slight wobble. and a few of the other bits are going on my other rider and some bits are going on a mates bike.

So i know have a set of X rims C303 by Alex to go on the project, not top spec or race strong but light! and not nos or old skool but laced to some nice specialized hubs, they are true and spin like a dream, cleaned them up quickly [spokes need more work]
