After a long break from cycling, caused by moving house and lots of other stuff, I’ve finally found myself with a bit of spare time for other stuff
My old roadbike doesn’t really work too well on the roughchip roads out here, with it’s narrow tyres, so I’m using my youngest daughters bike which she doesn’t want anymore it seems.
It’s a very secondhand Trek 800, but with a bit of TLC, I’ve made it into a practical useable bike.

The gear shifters on it were annoying to use, so I got the modern equivalent to them, and it now changes gear like it should.


The brakes were a bit on the weak side, but a bit of fine tuning has got them working much better.

The bike is probably actually too small for me, but the whole show works good enough to get me to the local shop 5 miles away for an ice cream.
It doesn’t break any speed records, but it still gives me a good workout, and that really is the point of it all.

You’ll need the workout to work off the ice cream.
