CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
Out and about today, spotted this raleigh steel frame effort languishing in Lauriston Gardens (next to all the recycling bins, back entrance to St Thomas school/Chapel).
Its longer wheelbase than my SS, otherwise I might have considered it, but I reckon its approx 53cm BB-top of seat tube.
Soul cycles has one similar (popped in for a look, nice guy on duty) but with the old style friction gear shifters on down tube.
Chain's a bit slack...
What's the betting the seat post is rusted into place? If no takers here, maybe drop it off at the Bike Station? I'm sure they could make good use of it.
It's my size too, but I just have too many 'projects' in the garage right now...
If its still there in a few days, I will drop off to TBS, was on the bike when I saw it, didnt think it would fit in my carradice !!
I always carry my tools with me so might inspect the shifters and rear brake if I pass that way this evening.
Hmmm. Interesting...
Looks like one that was done at Dave's bike shop some 15 years ago where I used to work We did a lot back then Happy Hybrids we called them. Things haven't changed much. Am still knocking them out at Soul Cycles. Thanks for the nice comments. We always try and please the customers
To the OP What happened to the bike?
Sorry for delay - work........
I popped by a few days later and it was gone - not sure if picked up as a project or scrapped.
Hope the former if it was not too knackered.
