Hello to you all, Bob from South Wales here. Drinking coffee and swapping stems.

A quiet Saturday night / Sunday morning tweaking my recent retro conversion build. 470 miles over the past five weeks has raised a few minor issues with 'her'. Mostly relating to 'bike fit'. It's all very therapeutic 😁 Out for test ride later in the day. Happy trails...

Sounds good, I'm enjoying a coffee right now myself. Now work on getting 10 posts so you can post some pics of your sweet "retro conversion".
