... I never quite left bikes...just covered what I have for 25years...!! And then added lots of random parts over the years... Early eBay was great for parts... Then covered up too... Clock turns to June this year and a chance meeting with an old friend and clearing my garage and I am away and running again...!! Found a before-ish- and after pic of my old one...
