Went down to my first Bristol bike jumble. It was small but the punters were definitely keen, had to get my elbows out a bit! I so narrowly missed out on a black quill stem in a freebies box, but picked up some uncut Tioga risers for £3, and an Ultegra front brake (sans brake pads) for £10.
By chance I found an old custom quill in the attic (in a box full of lightbulbs 🤷🏻) and some old grips which were on my moulton APB in household tool box, so I pretty much have a ratty cockpit ready to go (and I think there might be a brake lever in the airing cupboard maybe.)
Until writing this I’m not sure I was accepting of how chaotic I am.
Looks like we’re going ratty initially at least.
