DJuice Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Desperate times call for desperate measures... especialy if you missed out on buying yourself and IDT before lockdown.So I went ahead and built myself one using some scrap wood, two old hubs and a repurposed Holdfast clamp.It's a total biaatch to pedal with my full weight on the hubs but it works and I guess that's all that counts for now.Growing up money was tight.My dad built me an indoor trainer from scrap metal and repurpose rollers from a feedlot.Sounded like a boeing.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted July 17, 2020 Author Posted July 17, 2020 For those looking to blow some data, my latest video has dropped on the tube. A slight departure from the norm of classic steel road bikes but it was a calling I needed to action.William & his son are still needing helmets so if anyone could assist with some that might be collecting dust, please hook me up.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted August 4, 2020 Author Posted August 4, 2020 Another recently completed old school Peter Allan that I restored for a good friend to hang in his Man Cave. This was one of the entry level models of the time but it's still got a 3hr20min Argus time in its palmares Underachiever, DJR, DJuice and 3 others 6

Hairy Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Yo ... your latest Youtube clip shows as private .... the one released 2hrs ago
BuffsVintageBikes Posted November 16, 2020 Author Posted November 16, 2020 Yo ... your latest Youtube clip shows as private .... the one released 2hrs ago Yeay Hairy, about that. I forgot I scheduled it for release on Sat evening expecting the owner to collect in the week. Then the owner was unable to collect so I had to reschedule otherwise he'd see his bike on YouTube before seeing it in the flesh So it released on Sat evening for about an hour before I had the chance to change it back to Private. Hopefully it'll go live in the week sometime. DJR, Hairy and Hennie 15 3

BuffsVintageBikes Posted December 18, 2020 Author Posted December 18, 2020 Been a while since I've posted some updates but things have still been happening in the garage. I expanded my little operation by buying a vinyl cutter and setting my 16yr old daughter up with a sideline business making vinyl decals to earn pocket money and cut my own for the restoration projects. Here's some of the work she's done so far... with Dads help of course DJR, ChrisF, Loose cog and 3 others 6
BuffsVintageBikes Posted December 18, 2020 Author Posted December 18, 2020 I recently finished the restoration of this Peugoet Rapport as well. I resprayed this ones frame with rattle cans (it took to attempts to get it perfect ).Part 2 of the resto video will drop on youtube this weekend. Zebra, DJR and Prince Albert Cycles 3
