Been a while... Couple of bicycle bits to show!

Hey guys, has been ages since the last update- life, Christmas and everything sort of butted in... But I have a few bits to share as to how the bicycle is doing.

First up, here are the brakes that we found on ebay- they look good as well as being fit for purpose so a win there!

These are my happiest find- surprisingly hard to find the right white pedals that I had in mind and these are in great looking condition even at I believe over 20 years old! They were from ebay! They are Lyotard pedals and were rather stressful to get, given that after purchasing them they were not sent out when scheduled to be, and we were then informed they had none in stock... And were offered black ones- which if I had wanted black would have been easy to find.Until finally they apparently found some and sent them out! It was a relief for the transaction to be over.

Sadly the wheel rims that we ordered from the same place were then also apparently out of stock so are still waiting to find some from elsewhere.

In the meantime my dad has ordered me some yellow paint and primer and is starting some more work on the bicycle- being lovely enough to go out and work on sanding it etc. in the cold! Here are some of the rusty spots on the bicycle after being treated and painted.

Still on the online hunt to find wheels, tyres, the right brooks saddle and a good basket!
