Anyone looking for a Zini to restore, I would have jumped on it but it looks too big for me

Beautiful Hennie, I'll be a willing buyer when you decide to part with her.

Thanks for feedback.  Not at this stage, still to much in love after her first maiden ride to Jonkershoek yesterday with @buffsvintagebikes.  Maybe one day      i will let her go, if i get another nice project.

 

regards Hennie

Got my hands over the weekend on a beautiful Rapport Peugeot awesomely restored by buffvintagebikes. Took it for a 110 km ride on Sunday to the top of Chappies and was pleasantly surprised on the comfort and handling, climbing and descending of the bike.  I am pretty stoked with bike #8, my 1st Vintage...

 

Any idea on Retro Kits?

Welcome to the brotherhood! Enjoy the greatness of steel!

 

For classic riding kit, contact Bikebloke. I think he's now based in Barrydale? He usually has some great shirts for sale. Otherwise look at EBay, although I think getting things here from overseas might be a bid tricky right now with the way the world has been turned upside down.

Thanks DJR, I will most definitely have a look see. Velotex also have the retro shirt, bib and cap for the Peugeot. Bit pricey and worried about the fit... I usually take a medium shirt and large bib, but always found Velotex to be slightly different...

this is an expander bolt for a 1 inch steerer - for various reasons including my own stupidity, this one is now to long

 

I need one at least 20mm shorter

 

Any bright ideas out there are welcome
