Our Bikes
In our shed are 2 of my bikes and 2 of Joshua's. They are all different. Joshua has a Choper MkIII, I like this bike as much as he does. He also has a red GT off road bike that has yet to go of road. He has got used to the quick steering of the Chopper and does not like the ponderous steering of a large wheel bike. I kinda know how he feels, I ride a Brompton adn a Moulton and I too don't like the ponderous feel of big wheels. The last time I took the Bob Jackson out I nearly got in trouble on a roundabout as it would not turn as quickly as I wanted it to, the same maneouver would be natural on the Brompton.
My two bike in there are the Moulton TSR and the old Bob Jackson.
The Bob Jackson has not even done 1000 miles and is 22 years old. I built it just before getting my first Moulton. I instantly liked the Moulton and it's comfort and have ridden them ever since. The TSR in the picture is my third Moulton.
If funds permit, in the new year, I wil send the Bob Jackson frame back to Leeds for a repaint. The paintwork has got rather dammaged over the years and I would like the bike to look like new again. It's still got all it's 1980's kit TA, Campag, Weinmann, Brooks and Cinelli. I am rather attached to the bike, even tough I don't ride it, I built it and it is completely set up for me. I'd quite like to take it out on some rides next year.
