Hello from Devon in the UK
Hello... Lockdown has done me a real favour. I've been through my bike shed and actually looked at what was in there. Bikes I've riden over the years but never really looked at in detail. They're mainly steel and date from early 60's (i think). Now I've had the chance to have a really good look at them I've got a head full of questions. I'm looking forward to working out how to use Bike Forums, and being able to tap into all the knowledge out there.

If only life was that easy.. I forgot to mention that i stopped riding in the mid 90's.. and the bikes have been raided for parts... I know it shouldn't have happened, but it did. Now the fun of resoring them can begin.

Your list of bikes is impressive. Come join us in Classic & Vintage! I follow two YouTubers from Devon. Beautiful area. If you're interested you can look them up. Juliet Elliott and Dave Noakes. They post videos about bicycles and riding.
