I’m in Berlin so it’s not a classic yet until it hits 30yrs. The last 3 years we’ve been leasing, the cost was between 2-3k€ a month for an autobiography and I reckon avg 4K a year service cost. Just got sick of all the electrical stuff playing up all the time. I have a feeling they might lease an audi r4 or something for running around the city if the rangey doesn’t work out. Drives like a boat but loving it atm and don’t get as many dirty looks!!

The fork has 3 settings, 100mm, 120 and 140. I was running it 140mm on my San Andreas but on the lobster it felt best at 120mm. Tried a rigid before Xmas (see pic) but just didn’t feel right off road. The pics above are at the 140mm setting

Bought a load of nos conti tires, went to pick em up off the lady, she had some nice retro ti gt’s from 1996 Olympics, turns out she came 7th in Atlanta.

Got my Rock Lobster Team Ti up and running finally, switched out the fork and stem and feels so much better.

Finally picked up this 1992/93 rangey Vogue yesterday (hard to get it registered over xmas), new company car as the lease is up on the black one next month. Gotta get the central locking sorted out, gonna tint the back windows and fit a decent stereo. 1st time dealing with a classic car over here so gonna be a steep learning curve.

Yep 100% agree, gotta bite the bullet and buy a thick/thin chainring. Put some conti’s on and rides so much better

Looking forward seeing the alpinestars, need some inspiration to get going on my project.
If your stuck for any 26” parts gimme a shout -
Finally bled the brakes, switched tires and took it for a test ride yesterday. Tires sucked I’ll keep em for the summer, wiped out on some tram tracks and ended up leaving it in a bar for the night....
Gonna switch the tires today and try again -
@dancing james just out of curiosity are the rivets silver or copper? I got a white copper rivet swallow that was told was one of one off a mate (the one top right)
I’ve already found a few 🤣. Pretty lucky though as it only had one owner from new a dentist who collects cars, came with a full service history, bought in Germany in 1993 but lived in Marbella and garaged. I looked at some really shite ones over the last few months and luckily stumbled onto this one by chance
