brooks team pro, £60 retail or more for the aged version

looks painful

looks like a thing of beauty mate. Damn, where the hell did you find that? some bargain bin?

at the back of a shelf in the garage. its my dads old one he put in mothballs years back, decided to dig it out and give  it a go on the fixie. it might have to wait a bit though, it weighs about a pound and a half so i dont think i can be arsed bringing it back to brizzle!

   I found a similar one someone had ditched into a skip!!!!!!

Cleaned up lovely in thirty minutes and I sold it on for £25 8-) Was a few years ago though. Wonderful things you can find that people just throw out.

The flooring shop at the end of my street tosses a skipload of stuff every two or three years. I have done a mates room with rescued planks of flooring from it. OK the bits dont match but its a spare room used for storage - so who cares what it looks like? Also did his separate toilet and bathroom free.
