What-o!

[Dr.Doo]

Hello folks, I thought I'm introduce myself. I'd Doc and I'm new to the forum. I'm a Brit and just come back to cycling after more than a decade out of the saddle.

I gave up smoking last year after a near fatal chest infection and my Father promised to buy me a bike as my KHS mountain bike had been stolen some years before. The budget was small so I searched and searched until finally, just after I'd passed my 1yr non smoking anniversary, I found the bike I wanted on good old ebay. A hand-built mid 80's tourer with some nice quality bits. She was built for the lady I bought her from who is very similar dimensions to me - the only thing I've changed is I've lowered the handlebars a couple of inches. All she needs is fenders and a rack as she's my main form of transport around the local area. I know she's an 'old girl' but then I'm no spring chicken either!
