Ferret90 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Had a slight incident envolving a tree and the little Yanmar. Broke the light cluster and put a big ol' dent in the bonnet. Got to locate another one now, mabey a new bonnet as it has rusted and structurally it's floppy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajo Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I have been shopping online the last few days for retro bicycle parts. Another hobby of me, rebuilding retro racing bicycles (and than offcourse riding them ), usually the famous Dutch brand Gazelle. Some of the bikes already in my collection, such as a 1995 Team (full Dura Ace 7400/7410) and another 1995 Team, from the ForelDorado Team, formerly ridden by local elite rider Daniel van Elven. Two more bicycles are "in the making". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajo Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 No problem, I could easily post 10 more which I have built over the past 6 years (since my oldest was born, I started rebuilding these steal beauty's then). And for the record, the Team ForelDorado is equipped with a full Campagnolo Chorus groupset. : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
