Well i've finally got back on my bike , for the first time in 5 months. Went out for a quick ride this afternoon after washing and oiling both of them (and by quick i mean 1.55 miles according to my computer, ha).

I'm absolutely loving it at the moment though because this means i can get on my bike for the rest of the summer and start to get some fitness back .

Might even be able to get my mate to actually ride his bike now instead of just looking at it in the garage, ha.

Just bought a bike off a lad from work, it's a Merida 880-16 road bike, got a damaged brk/shifter and
just needs a clean
it's about 2 yrs old... got it for £70



took the Merida out a couple of times with just the 8 gears working , found it as easy or easier to
ride uo the hills than my hybrid....
I have now won a pair of s/hand levers on Ebay for £41, so all the gears are now working
I have also fitted some blue anodized skewers




I have also replaced the seat with one with a prostate slot in it...
received the new blue Ritchie cork handle bar tape and have fitted that
this afternoon

I'll get some pictures up later on as i've just drove back from alton towers and i'm absolutely knackered lol.
