My old 1994 Townsend New Horizon

Hadagan

What the heck...I love this bike so I thought I'd show it off

I bought it new in 1994 when It was new for £249

Since then I recently added riser bars, a comfy seat and new lights

I still do red/black runs on it keeping up the skills needed for rigid fork riding. A bit tough going sometimes, but so what I love it

This bike had sat in the shed for years till I got it out again last year and was bitten by the bug all over again

Fair few scratches and paint flakes I know but it is 15 years old and well used

You can see the thread exposed on the tyre walls with age





Shimano Hyperdrive 11-28 on the rear


Shimano Altus Canti's with new 63mm pads ( actually work very well even in wet )


Shimano Altus SC-TC90

Nice. Is the rear spacing 130mm or 135mm?

I was recently given a 97 (I think) Diamondback Sorrento cro mo, the frame and fork are in mint condition, it couldn't have done more than a couple hundred miles. The original Altus group is quite rusted and one of the chainrings is bent, so I might replace it with the current 8sp Alivio group, need to change the hub or wheels though since it's only 7 speed compatible, good thing it's has a 135 rear spacing. It'd make a good touring bike.
