That looks like too much work for someone my age.

Yeah, but it's the getting up the hill to start with that's the problem!
Anyway, most of the people on here are already over the hill, so they know what it's like!

Dunno about work, but that seat looks like it could kill!

Got an old racing bike - Eddie Grubb 531 frame, Shimano gears. Does that count? Just started using it again, in a probably futile attempt to regain some of my youthful vigour.

I have 2 bikes in bits, a CB400/4 1975 and a Cagiva Malossi 125 scooter (like the runner but with ummph) and 3 bicycles, the best one is a Marin City bike, with all the luggage, but hasn't had an airing this year so far :(

Gio, if you haven't rebuilt that CB400 by now you're never going to! Do what I did with my Superdream - find a good home where someone will love it back to health!

LOL....I think I've probably had my 400/4 a fair bit longer than Gio and for quite a lot of that time it's been in need of restoration .....
Having had it for about 33yrs I'm keeping mine and one day it
will live again.
Maybe Gio has a similar attachment to his?
