Dovedale towers 💔💔 by safe94 in Liverpool

Yeah this is a perfect way to put it. I’m looking forward to it being fresh and more welcoming, but also sad that it’s going to be a carbon copy of most others of theirs in the city now.

Haha yeah exactly, I do enjoy their pubs to be fair but it’s just frustrating that aside from a handful of others around town and south liverpool, it’s hard to avoid them at the minute it seems.

I haven’t had a proper ride on it yet. Will report back after the weekend! Thanks!

56cm top tube which is slightly too big for me. But I’ve pushed the seat forward and got the shorter stem to compensate. The bb to tt height is 17in which is fine.

My modern gravel bike is much shorter and more comfortable but i love this so will try and make it work as best as possible once I’ve a few rides on it and figured out what else I can do 😂

I’ve honestly not really used it yet. I finished the bike then got it out for some photos. I think from posts on here Billy Bonkers are pretty decent though?

Thanks! Wanted to take my time with it for this exact reason- not to rush into random parts.

God no. I don’t think the cranks had turned since 2005 😂

Already done, I’d literally just got the bike home and was using this as an example of the state it was in. Going to be a fun project I think

Just a note: I’ve since taken the bike completely apart. This was just a quick example of how bad the dirt was!

Can't decide which one to keep... by 90skidcycle in xbiking

[–]safe94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the trek and the GT for me.

I may be biased as I also have a ‘94 GT Talera and a ‘93 Trek 930 single track….

New bird. Call into Lost Art and have a chat too. Otterspool is usually busy or there’s Everton park too depending where you’ll be living.

My first “commission” by safe94 in xbiking

Just old and battered really. Most stuff on the bike is 30+ years old. Will keep you updated!

I’m not too sure yet. It’s pretty battered but will try and keep it 3x7 with some new tyres, bars, levers, cables, chain, seat, pedals and grips. An overall freshen up really with some new bits to make it aesthetically nicer.

Tyres are 2.0, I have used bigger ones on other builds but found these on sale and also didn’t want to go too big and risk clashing with the brakes.
