The Radio Cyclist!: Well this is embarrassing

Ha ha well, this is embarrassing...Having not seen the bike but after lots and lots of research I decided it was a Mont Blanc.....So URL of the blog is peugeotmontblanc .........Name of the blog is Mont Blanc and me.....And guess what?

Pantera then....

Bugger.

So, I'm left with a dilemma now! Do I mess about changing the blog or just leave it for hilarities sake? Answers on a postcard please!

So, me and my gf met up with Bruvva yesterday and had a nice catch up over a brew at the services... Very excited and quite pleased! Although it's a bit scruffy it is mechanically sound! I was amazed actually that the BB is running smoothly as are the hub bearings! You'd never believe mechanically that it had spent the last 10 years or so sat in a garage!!

I need to do some research and find out it's age, no easy task so I'm reliably informed after reading various websites. Then the next plan is to trip the frame and decide what work to do, what to replace, what to clean and service.....The big question is whether or not to respray it...? Ok, as you'll see from the photos the paint work is in a bad way is certain areas...not awful but not pretty either...But I kind of like that...it's honest it says "I'm not a brand new road bike, I'm not trying to be fashionable, I don't care that I have outdated geometry"... What do you think?..... I'm toying weather to change the wheels - They are straight as a die which is good and in great condition...they are not that heavy....(The freewheel on the other hand seems to be made of cast iron!!) SO I think I'll maybe replace that and keep the shiny wheels :) The sidepull brakes are a pain though so I might replace those..

Anyway, on with the photos. Just using my iphone so apologies for the quality :D
