31/03/2014 – Christening the replacement racer

Monday, March 31st, 2014

Went out for a quick test ride on the replacement racer.

The verdict – the pedals have got to go ! now to find a hammer and the spanner !

I rode up to Egerton Road and back in a loop, not much but enough to gain a feel for the gears.

There will be more.
