Fat Boab Posted April 18, 2016 Share Hi guys, Looking at selling my Retro, indoor trainer ride.Nobody seems to be able to identify it but it is a late 80's/early 90's alloy road bike.I will sell it as a bundle with he jetblack trainer and industrial fan.PM for more detail, open to realistic offers.DSC_0126.JPGDSC_0128.JPGDSC_0129.JPG Thought you were prototyping motor-doping for a second, with that fan drive! Good luck with the sale. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted April 18, 2016 Share Some last minute training for Eroica: this gravel road riding is tough on the hands. Bike handled pretty well. I did 16km on a rutted road this morning (first ride in 7 weeks, I'll tell you why on Friday). Just as well, handlebar came loose; seat pin lock nut broke and I broke!!!!! Will do it again tomorrow, hopefully nothing more breaks. Rutted roads are the pits, I might double up on bar tape.Much better on my dual sus!

Corrugations from vehicles driving on the road make it seriously uncomfortable for any bike without suspension. I think all of us bigger guys are going to take some strain. I think it'll be necessary to stop quite often on the Eroica ride, just to give the body some respite. HeyYou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose cog Posted April 18, 2016 Share Agreed. Good time to stop take in the views, have another sip of wine, etc. Its only 140kms! HeyYou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Jimmy Posted April 24, 2016 Share So I stumbled across this thread and now the vintage bike bug has bitten! My apologies for what is probably a re-re-repost, but where is a good place to start looking for a vintage steel frame? I'm hoping to find a Le Turbo in a 56cm or so (my dad had one so its pure nostalgia) but I am open to other brands. Really keen to ride Eroica next year, so hopefully see a few of you chaps there!
