[QUOTE="Howard, post: 42316, member: 271"] Don't get me started, you don't know how hard I'm fighting my natural instincts with this bike. I have lightweight bikes and sports bikes, I bought it for a relaxed outing bike for club runs, something to tinker with and improve, and, I have to admit, something that won't lose money from my pension fund. Everytime I pass it, I think "that standard horn is heavy - I know where there's a lighter one" or "Why do I need 2 heavy brakes on the back?" I'm trying to keep it as standard as possible with improved rideability, and that's it (I keep telling myself!). The rear tyre gave up the ghost yesterday, cracks all over it, it must be older than I thought, and 700 miles in 7 years seems to have let it perish before it wore out, so it's new tyre this week, and then I'll have a look at the suspension setup while the wheel's out. H ps why can't I do paragraphs today? [/QUOTE]
