Tyres are one thing that I have a hard time paying massive $$ for.

I like to ride all my bikes, some more than others, so I would hate to be wearing out mega $$ Comp II's or something.

My Carrera II & my son's 82 MXII still see track time too so I love the re-issue Comp III.

Thank you.

When I first started collecting parts for this I had it in my head to sell it. I can't do that now. I like it too much.

I use to build anything but it had no meaning to me. I rode Redline's as a kid so I thought I would specialise rather than diversify.

Don't know. Didn't really plan to build this.

I had built these wheels to sell but couldn't bring myself to let go of them. The bike got built around the wheels.

I really don't know what else I could build. I don't do freestyle & 70's to mid 80's race is it for me.

I think a lot of us go through that transition

Lovely build there.

They are great bikes to ride as the head tube is 5" so gives a great amount of room.

This & the Carrera II are awesome rides though it's hard to beat the PL24 for size & comfort on those long summer rides.
