Here is my 1989 Hansom, Reynolds 525 Tubing with 7 Speed 105.

My parents bought me the bike brand new from Dave Wiseman and I have owned it ever since.

I got my Natal colours on it in 1991.

I resurrected it about 2 years ago.

The groupset is from a donor bike, but is exactly the same as the one I had on.

The original groupset was in bad shape due to many accidents racing as a schoolboy.

The frame was resprayed the original colour and my paint guy masked all the original decals, so those are still all original. I also still have my original SKS pump that stays on the bike now.

I rode my very first Amashova on it in 1992, and last year I rode the bike again in that race after more than 20 years. I still  love riding that bike, just so many memories and history.

The Colnago is my more recent restoration.post-35520-0-44683900-1443157243_thumb.jpgpost-35520-0-43796300-1443157300_thumb.jpgpost-35520-0-96056300-1443157259_thumb.jpg

My first bike and what led me to racing was a Hansom 531 with Shimano 600 with Biopace

 

Started my riding career after a running injury back in '81. Bought a black and purple  Peugeot something. Then graduated, about 84, to a sky blue Hansom 531c, with 600 and biopace.

 

Wish I still had it!!!
