Our collection of bikes up to now. Not mucho expense or cutting edge in the fashion stakes i'm afraid. All built on a peasants budget.
90's GT Vertigo.

My old Vertigo. My eldest uses this now as he's a short ten years old. The short frame is just the right size at the moment. A reasonably quick blow over with a flat sky blue and it freshened it up nicely. 5 mins after taking a freshly painted it was thrown on the floor for a goalpost! Good job they're built to be abused......
