Retro Bicycle Thread

Deal

 

I will also give you an old Giro helmet and some Time retro shoes to sell on behalf of your uncle. Hopefully you can raise another R500 odd?

Done.  Don't stress about the other stuff.  I'm going to give him extra anyway.  He's not expecting anything, so it will be a nice surprise for him!

 

Now, we just need to actually make a plan to meet up this  time lol

Hi Eppie

 

They are a size 44 (UK 9.5). 

 

The leather is still supple and has leather insoles. Could do with a nice polish. Factory drilled water and air vents in the leather soles.

 

Very nice shoes, wished they were my size.

 

Send me a PM if you want them.

Whilst we have a retro shoe thread going and everyone has the Eroica on their mind, I also have these Look shoes available. They are a size 9.5. They are still in good condition but the coloured leather bits have perished.

There is so much wrong with this bike.

 

For example:

• it is not a 55cm
• it doesn't park in my lounge
• it is gold
• the wheels suck
• the decals say "Weener"

 

I can go on, and on, and on!

 

Seriously, that is a lovely Viner Sire.

 

Do you want take it to Hector Norris Park tomorrow pm?

Viner's are such an underrated brand. Here is my Viner Special Professional pista. Its my main track bike and has Record groupset with small flange Record wheels. Very slow, but that the problem with the engine.
