    Looks a great bit of kit, assume it could also be used on a pushbike. Had a nightmare last year trying to bleed the Hydraulic brakes.

    Pushbikes have come a long way since I was a kid...
    We could learn a lot from crayons; some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, while others bright, some have weird names, but they all have learned to live together in the same box.”

    Me too , went to school on it , did my paper round on it , and most of my spare time was spent on a pushbike . It was a Raleigh Jeep ! Loved that bike



    I then got a Raleigh Randonneur , went to work on it , did my shopping , went on holiday on it , cycled from Cornwall to wilts , went to the Lake District on it , I did thousands of miles on that bike , in fact it was push bikes and this one in particular that got me into Motorbikes . I've had it almost 30 years and restored it to it's former glory 4 years ago , I think they call it " Retro " now . It still gets a bit of exercise now and again . Do you reckon it's the right colour Larry ?

    I used to do up to 200 miles a week as a lad.

    9 miles to school and back then 14 (when we moved), 2+ mile paper round, training and bit of 25 & 50 mile racing.

    ...and none of it on the ******* pavement
    I only have one vice…I lie.
