Title: Hi from rainy Leicestershire.
Post by: Alex jb on October 27, 2015, 11:20:34 PM

Hi folks,
Just bought into grubby fingernails again with a CD175, looking forward to riding it, some tinkering and generally owning a bike nearly as old as me.

Cleared up this afternoon, fingers crossed for a good lunch time as I ride her back to Leicester!

This afternoon was quite decent when the sun came out. Hope you made it back in the dry.
Where are you in Leics?

That looks a well sorted out machine.  I bet you get lots of interest when you're parked up.

I was planning on spending less on the bike and leaving a good budget for the cafe conversion myself, but when this came up and I went to see it, I was happy that the work done is a good standard and there is still enough for me to tinker with so I went with this bike.
I'm sure it will turn a few heads on the Sunday afternoon pub run! I have the same thing when I go on bike ride outs on my bamboo bike.
