    Saw the most amazing restored 1970s Moulton racing bike today in Church Street & Christchurch. The owner mentioned he had it resprayed by Mercian recently. If it's yours and you are reading this, please post a few photos. If you are one of the Old Velos gang, have you seen it?

    That's new to me Mercian Pro - would love to see it also. This is my last Saturday night contribution to 70's cycling - 1978 Gazelle Mondial Champion. Cyclists, especially club cyclists, note the mudguards (and Doc Martin boot tongue as splash guard)!

    Keep an eye on the Oldvelos website and FB page as I think there are a few bikes to be posted there.

    That brings back great memories. One of my sons had one of those back in the day, mid 80s I reckon. His even had the Mag wheels as well.
    Thanks.

    Bringing on my PTSD now. All the rich lads had Burners, Strikers or Grifters while I had a 2nd hand Tomahawk with one white tyre...was like Angela's Ashes when I was growing up...

    I have one of those frames in the attic along with the illusive 25mm seatpost. Has some BB issues that I never got around to getting sorted, so remains a future build.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,475 ✭✭✭Ryath


    Rob you have me looking at vintage bikes and L'Eroica again! Any one have a spare colnago or bianchi?

    Looks like a billboard. The writing could be toned down a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,718 ✭✭✭AstraMonti


    Without red tyres and wheel decals it would have been much better. Still like it though, no nonsense racing bike.

    I've always wanted a Thorn, and I still may do it one day.

    Edit: how do you like the Cambium?

    The Cambium is great. No regrets.

    Really? reminds me of those metal flake paint jobs the boy racers had a few years ago.

    It looks better in the flesh. Similarly sparkly but less in your face.

    I want both of those Wiliers. I'm looking at a few (not in this price range of course), can't really justify any of them, but it'd cheer me up to have another when I'm back on the bike

    The bars are awful, and the make-up and shoes make her look like a tart, but underneath she is naturally a beauty.

    Festka can do no wrong in my eyes, the odd paint job is bonkers but they are stunning rigs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,475 ✭✭✭Ryath


    Lot of nice parts but the paint job makes it looks like a cut and shut

    Cool site
    http://bikewar.com/category/roadbikes/

    For our new visitors, Bike War rates bikes against each other, pretty much arbitrarily, and for the simple fun of it. We don’t pretend to be experts on road bikes – lots of resources on the ‘net for that already. Realizing that there are tons of cools bikes out there, we’ve included a little bit of commentary on some of the lesser known bikes, or new bikes. And no, we can’t cover all or every type of bike, so you’ll see a little bit of bias towards carbon fiber, modern bikes, and road bikes. But that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate vintage steel, touring bikes, folding or even BMX’s. (And we certainly love titanium frames.) This is just a fun-on-the-side gig for us, and we still have day jobs!
