Isn't she a beaut...!?

I have a new project.

As most of you know I'm not really happy unless I have something to do and with this in mind I have undertaken the job of fixing up the bike pictured above. It belongs to my Cousin Scott who has kindly lent it to me while I'm in Brisbane. It wasn't actually in that bad shape and could have been made road worthy with just a couple of new tyres and some oil. However, after taking a few bits off, and noticing a few things that needed fixing I made the plunge and decided to take it apart completely and rebuild it. Rachael is extremely pleased about our lounge being turned into my bike workshop as well!

Don't worry Scott, I promise it'll still work when I'm finished.

Oh, and as of today I'm a quarter of a century old - boo hoo. However, like a fine wine I'm only getting better with age (although I'm having to trim my nose hair with alarming regularity these days)!
